 | Comments: |
Headed south to get out of the subpar forecast. Other than an occasional sprinkle, the weather held up with a few glimpses of sunshine and blue sky.
Ascended via the old access road to Mt. Watatic ski area, then followed the gravel/crushed rock access road from the base area to the summit. Mostly dry with reasonable grades and good footing. Summit was surprisingly quiet.
From the summit, I headed north on the Wapack Trail to Nutting Hill, the last peak on the trail before crossing into New Hampshire. Directional views from the ledgy summit area. Other than a few minor wet spots, the trail was in good shape. |
