| Comments: |
this was a pleasant hike with some good views near the summit. the trail had a couple potentially confusing junctions with ski trails and a few obscure spots, but was generally easy to follow. leaf cover in spots made for slower going coming down. i continued a short distance beyond the summit on a herd path to the location of the spot elevation on the usgs map and to look for more views, but the path petered out shortly after what is likely the actual high point. great views to the moats, attitash, thorn, kearsarge, etc. from the spur a short distance below the summit. |
