 | Comments: |
Owl's Head Trail is quite steep once it starts up the mountain. The summit of Owl's Head has a unique view of Crawford's Notch. The Presidentials were in the clouds above 5000 ft. Cherry Mountain Trail is the old fire road to the tower and is very gentle but has no views. We took it all the way to Old Cherry Mountain Rd and then road walked back to the car. We only saw 2 people all day, both on Martha's Mile. |
