 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. Some minor mud on the Bay View Trail and the Mt. Major Trail.
Found the unmarked Bay View Trail on the Boulder Loop, just past a pair of logging road junctions (left one being the Beaver Pond Trail, the right one being just beyond that). Trail was generally easy to follow, except in a few places in the vicinity of the fire a few years back. Nice lake views from the upper switchback. Trail emerged on the Boulder Loop at a ledge where there are two blazes (one angled, one straight).
Descended via the Mt. Major Trail, intending to find the Bypass Trail. Found a few possibilities, but nothing obvious, so it'll have to wait for another time, ie following it from the lower junction.
Temperatures in the lower 50s with some wind stood in start contrast to the upper 70s we had just a few days ago, confirming that fall is indeed here. Some fall colors on the trail, but not as much as in Franconia Notch/Waterville Valley/Twin Mountain this weekend. |
