 | Comments: |
Do not let the crowded parking lot dissuade you from this hike. It serves two other trails as well. We did not see as many people as one would expect. a variety of folks enjoying this trail.
We did it clockwise, enjoying a leisurely rest on the eastern ledges. Great views of Chocorua, the Sisters, Passaconaway, etc. Good choice for a sunny windy day, lots of open ledges protected by trees. |
