| Comments: |
This completed my red-lining of all trails that go anywhere near Chocorua - a project I started 40 years ago. I only realized afterwards how close I was to the summit of Mt. Blue, where the the Middle Sister Tr. approaches it - sorry to have missed it. Nice views from Third Sister ledges, in peace and quiet. |
