 | Comments: |
Started on Eastman Brook (easy) to Doublehead (steady incline) then across on Crawford-Ridgepole (ups and downs but nothing too crazy). I hadn’t planned on adding the OAB on Brooks Fisher, but it was there so I took it. Down on Old Mountain Road (wet) to where I had stashed my bike. A 4 mile bike ride completed the loop. The leaves are just popping and are small enough that there are still excellent views into the woods and of Squam Lake. Saw 9 people and one dog plus a 10 person hiking group on Brooks Fisher. |
