Beautiful day to finish redlining the Belknaps with my friend Crystal! Trek out to Swett Mtn. was very enjoyable, green blazes were a little tricky to see once in awhile but you just had to keep an eye out. Love the lesser used trails! Valley View was the real treat of the day! Slow and steady, we climbed down into the boulder field and had a blast! Fun trail but wouldn't bring dogs (or some kids) on it. Lots of spaces/holes/caves to fall into if you are not paying attention to where you are putting your feet! |
