Been wanting to hike this one for a while. A long woods walk out to Parker, another 52WAV peak. It's inclusion on the list is due to the stunning views from its summit ledges, including Crawford, Resolution, Washington, Rocky Branch Ridge, Wildcats, Carters, Baldfaces, Doubleheads, Kearsarge North, Attitash, North Moat and a cool close-up perspective on Iron Mountain and its south cliffs. Pretty windy and chilly up top but we hung out for lunch amidst the bright sunny skies and very cool lenticular clouds. :) |
