Comments
Comments: What a hike! The Mahoosucs rock! I cannot wait to get back and do the notch and the arm. I was amazed at the difficulty of this trail, the ME trail was in great shape with newer log bridges. NH side had some older log bridges that make things slippery. All in all, with the right attitude anyone can emjoy this workout. It is about enjoying the hike/scenery and not fighting against the trail. Great day to be out!
