Great, long day on a counterclockwise loop to hit four peaks on the New England Hundred Highest. Going up the Coe slide was very sketchy as it had rained the day before. The bushwhack to Fort had a good herd path. Just make sure you're looking back to see where you came from. Had to resummit Fort twice to get my bearings and get back down into the scrub in the correct place. Tremendous weather day. 12 miles and saw no one for the last 5 hours of my trip. All four peaks have tremendous views, so enjoy them all. |
