Awesome day in the mountains with two of my best friends! We went clockwise around the loop, but might go in the other direction next time. The backside of Woodsum has a bunch of up and down, and your body thinks you're in down mode which can be tough. Also, the trail seems to be better marked going up Woodsum than down. It's a little overgrown in places (wish i'd brought some clippers). The ledges on Grafton Notch Loop are amazing, and the top of Puzzle is 360 degree views. Enjoy! |
