I've done this loop a few times, brought a newcomer to the trails and the ledges impressed him. Great day to be out. The trip report on Rollins a week prior had worried me a bit but the little snow and ice we encountered was avoidable as was the mud. The WOC did a nice job clearing that big blowdown on Rollins as you are coming down off Whiteface. I noticed that has really opened up nice views of Chocorua and the range. We skipped Passaconaway due to the lateness of the hour. |
