 | Comments: |
i started up the road, a couple inches of snow, immediately noting it is blazed. i passed a junction with an x-c trail then a trail down to haunted pond. i continued up as the road became more of a foot trail, still well marked, up to a nice viewpoint to whitton ledge and pond. a bit higher up the yellow blazed trail turned hard north following along the albany/madison town line where there are also conservation land markers. an unmarked footpath continued from the boundary a short distance up to the summit which has a cairn and limited views. an unmarked trail left southeast, with fresh footprints i retraced my steps then took the trail down to and around haunted pond, which is a neat spot, where there is a unique view to chocorua. rather than follow the trail to the fellowship from the northeast side of the pond i followed an old woods road from the pond down to a campground the did a short bushwhack back to the road i started on. |
