 | Comments: |
Saw a large bull moose munching on a birch tree where 93 goes from 2 to 1 lanes in Franconia Notch. 1 Bear on Cannon ski slopes on return trip.
I think that this loop will become my favorite way to do Carrigain even tho the steep part of Desolation is very steep. Would not want to descend that way. |
