Comments
Comments: Great day on the trail, perfect weather. Saw a few folks on Morgan and one person headed northbound. Took a few short bushwhacks: NE Doublehead, ridge highpoint and had an adventurous time on the long summit of Mount Webster checking out the USGS marked highpoint and the easily reached via the southend herd path. There is much to enjoy on this hike, many splendid ledgy summits, rock outcroppings, stone walls, ledges, good footing and fabulous panaramas---Squam Lake, Red Hill, Tecumseh,Franconia's peaks, and so much more!! What the heck is the smoke coming from east of the Ossipees? (I noticed it from Whiteface a few days ago too).
