Early morning, cold temps, and new light snow covering meant spikes went on at the beginning of the trailhead. The morning ascent rendered mostly dry trail until halfway up, then we hit running water and a few harder, sketchy ice patches. The sun was out and temps were perfect but made for some sticky snow on our descent. Some great view spots along the trail. We headed over to Balance Rock and just past to another great view heading towards the Bulk Head. After a few short scrambles over the ledges, we turned around and headed back to the SRK for our descent as we lost the trail. SRK is well marked but the route down the Bulk Head was difficult to follow as stated in Southern NH Trail Guide. This is a great little mountain fairly close to home and requires more exploring! Highly recommend!! |
