 | Comments: |
The trail was mostly dry, with small patches of wet rock, mud, and standing water. Some very tiny patches of ice, but they were mostly off the trail proper.
This was my 11th time hiking Monadnock, but my first via the Marlboro Trail. Not as hard as I expected, but still one of the more difficult direct routes up the mountain. Clear skies were had, but it was COLD! Picked the wrong day to wear shorts... Still an excellent day on the trail. |
