 | Comments: |
Nice loop hike (sweeter with road bicycle ride). View ledges, summit and the herd path to the NE ledges made this a worthy adventure. Love the views of Whiteface with Passaconaway poking its top just above Whiteface from behind, Paugus and Chocorua were nice to see nearby. Hot day and hazy air made views limited but I expected that today. Mead was a gentle hike off the mountain. |
