 | Comments: |
This was a scouting trip to check out the approximately 0.8-mi. extension of Blue Trail, which is currently flagged and being worked by the Gilmanton Conservation Commission. It will connect the summit of East Peak to the last turn on Red Trail, 0.3 below the summit of Middle Peak. This will create a nice longer loop option to visit both summits.
Thanks to GCC for their continued work on this great little trail system! |
