Comments
Comments: Hard pack was perfect for Microspikes. Fast, easy trail. We followed East branch of UNH ascending and West branch descending. Ice on North facing Ledges were was easy to navigate. Was surprised by the logging activity along the West branch - like there are too many trees in the forest?



Spectacular views - perfect temperature - such a bluebird day.
