 | Comments: |
Nice mountain on the NEK challenge, worth a visit. The cabin and fire tower on the summit are open to the public. Views were great, a bit hazy but not bad. Could see the whites, mt Washington, etc., greens, north, east, there was a lot to see from above. The trail was in great shape, but there were numerous muddy sections to get around. The last 1/3 mile is a bit steep, but the wet rock slabs were not too slippery. |
