First time doing this hike. Well worth the effort! At least 3 separate view points - each with different and beautiful views. In total 360-degree views. Be sure to look up on the East-facing descent for a nice view of Mt. Washington. The Ledges also gives a nice view of the Tripyramids, etc. The rain cleared just in time for us. Even withy the rain, the trails weren't overly muddy. I recommend doing the loop clockwise to get the nice views on the way back down. I also suggest getting an early start to void crowds later in the day. This one is staying on the list - May do it again some day. |
