Comments
Comments: Great day to redline some lesser known trails. Society for the Protection of NH Forests maintains the the Main Trail up Mt Major and did a big trail construction project this summer where the trail had eroded from water and heavy use. They have added $5 trail access fee collection boxes to help cover maintenance of these popular trails. Great idea!
