 | Comments: |
I went up Old Mountain Road from the west, then north on Crawford-Ridgepole to the summit of Mt. Webster. I returned south on Crawford-Ridgepole, went down Brooks Fisher, and walked on Perch Pond Rd back to my car.
Old Mountain Road was broken out by people headed for Mt. Livermore. I had to break out about 2.5 miles of Crawford-Ridgepole and all of Brooks Fisher. Snow depth varied from about 8 inches at 2000 feet to 4 inches at the trailheads. I used snowshoes the whole way (except for the road walk).
Mt. Webster has a wooded summit. So, no views from there, but there were a few restricted views along the way. There's a particularly good view on Crawford-Ridgepole about 0.5 miles north of the junction with Brooks Fisher. I could see Passaconaway (peeking over the Squam Range), Chocorua, the Ossipees, and Red Hill, to name just a few peaks. Beautiful.
