Comments
Comments: Attempted to reach Owls Head without the Black Pond Bushwack, but was not able to cross the Franconia Brook safely. Ended up going to 13 Falls and partway up to Galehead before returning to Lincoln Woods trailhead. A few muddy sections on the Franconia Brook trail but easy to avoid.
