The Sentinel Mtn trail, connector and Canaan Mtn trail are difficult to follow with the light snow covering the usual, easy to follow traction erosion. The trees were marked with faded maroon blazes making them difficult to find on the brown trunks. The Mt. Flagg trail was easy to follow along yellow blazes. |

| Comments: |
My hiking boots have been collecting dust for far too long so I took them for a walk to Sentinel Mtn. and Mt Flagg. Hiked the Sentinel Mtn. trail in single digit temperatures to gorgeous views of Green Mountain to the east, Dan Hole Pond to the south, Gunstock Mtn ski area and Belknap Mountain to the southwest and Mt. Shaw to the nothwest. Continued along the Sentinel Connector trail past the Merrovista Ledges camp to the junction with the Canaan Mtn trail. Continued to another cabin at the junction of the Mt. Flagg trail and ascended Mt. Flagg. Specatular views from the Mt. Flagg sub-summit. |
