 | Comments: |
Beautiful day, good views to other Ossipee mountains, and across Winni to Belknaps.
One other car in the lot, but we didn't come across any other hikers.
Some of the ledge slabs are a little wet and slick. A couple tiny patches of snow off trail.
Little Ball was a mix of herd path and faded blue blazes.
Was hoping to see the patches of trillium near the parking lot but it is a bit too early. |
