 | Comments: |
Logging/fire road was a nice walk - much nicer than taking the trail proper from the UNH/Downes Brook trailhead. Patchy snow starting around 1,700 feet or so, never too much. Ledges mostly dry (though still found a way to slip on the way down). Passaconaway, Tripyramids, Hancocks, and Carrigain all white. |
