| Comments: |
The trails are pretty well frozen with a sparse dusting of snow. There are a couple of icy spots in the upper 'forest' section of the Mount Roberts Trail which need some care to negotiate.
I didn't see another person during my entire hike - a great day wandering the Ossipees in complete solitude. |
