| Comments: |
Solo hike up via the Gale River Road approach. Light dusting of snow. Don't know why this trail isn't made "official"--it is pretty well-beaten and cared for. Views from the rocky top of the Nubble are impressive. Would gladly trade many other redundant trails in the Whites (that don't go anywhere special) for this gem. |
