 | Comments: |
Could not decide to go clockwise or counter. Chose clockwise to get s steep climb out of the way on way up to Wonalancet. Overall, the rocks were a bit wet in some spots from recent rains, but the ledges were dry. Some views from the ledges, but none at the true summit. One outlook ledge just before the summit of Hibbert with southerly views; summit in the trees. Some muddy spots along the higher elevation trail. Checked out the view ledge off the W-H summit; narrow views. The descent on the Walden trail was quite steep. Trails showed erosion in multiple locations, making trip down tricky. Could not determine if this was steeper than the climb up Wonalancet. In between, trails were much mor gradual. Easy walk out on Old Mast road. Only saw 4 others. |
