Mother Nature was full in all her beauty, today. A perfect 60 degree day with beautiful skies. Trail starts out nice and easy dor the first couple of miles. Then the steeps up to ridge get the heart pumping. All in all it a nice moderate trail with some sections of up uphill. Summit had great views towards the WMNF and into Maine. With the clear skies it was layer upon layer of mountains across New Hampshire. The direct view of South Baldface is nice and helps you glimpse those ledges. Overall, another well worth the effort 52WAV. |
