Beautiful day on Monadnock! Various outlooks east and south from Cliff Walk are great and of course the views at the summit were extensive given the clear day. Metal weathervane on top of Monte Rosa (south knob) and views are better from many other spots on the mountain. Mossy Brook Trail is as it sounds- lots of moss and the brook! Very pretty in a spruce forest. Old Half Way House Trail is a nice alternative to walking back the Old Toll Road. |
