Overall easy to follow trail with a number of outlooks to Squam Lake on one side of the ridge. Outlooks on the other were towards Sandwich Dome and Tecumseh. Best long-distance view was near Livermore at an opening that showed much of the Squam Range, Sandwich Dome, a peek at Whiteface, and Chocorua's distinct summit in the distance. |
