 | Comments: |
The route to Mt. Martha via the Cherry Mountain Trail was nicely packed out. However, there was no evidence of any hiker traffic on the Martha's Mile trail. I broke out a route over to the summit of Owl's Head. However I'm certain that a large segment of my track does NOT follow the trail corridor. You can read more details about this in my blog which is referenced at the bottom of this report. |
