Comments
Comments: The Drakes Brook Trail is smooth and easy, a pleasure to descend;
the Sandwich Mountain Trail is its evil twin (steep and rough in spots).

We were impressed with the cold change in NH weather: we found a little bit of frozen water at trailside on the way up, and we got snow-showered upon on the way down (not enough snow to accumulate, though -- the ground is still bare).
