Comments
Comments: A wonderful afternoon in the Sandwich Range Wilderness, after a somewhat crappy start to the day. This is always a great loop, with an easy cruise in and out and a steep climb and descent in the middle. Trails were wet in the morning from last night's rain, but they dried out nicely. The climb up Square Ledge was it's usually steep self. The trail doesn't mess around in this section. On top we took the herd path near the summit which leads to the ledge overlook, with a great look up at Passaconaway. Still some nice foliage hanging on and pleasant temps made this a delightful afternoon. :) Congrats to C for #43 of her 52WAV! Also nice to meet Darcy and Z on the trail!
