| Comments: |
This is my first hike to Mount Potash, a trail I have wanted to hike for a long time. I highly recommend as the summit has outstanding views with a great viewpoint along the way looking at Mount Passaconaway. We avoided the Downes Brook crossing by taking the Old logging service Road. We saw no one and were questioning was it because the water was high and difficult to cross today? Highly recommend this 52 with a view hike!!! |
