| Comments: |
On one hand a typical White Mtn 4000 footer day, worked hard for 11.3 miles, but surprisingly strenuous ascent up Whiteface via Blueberry Ledges and then lots of up and down before the "up" on Passaconaway. Weather cooperated and the mostly cloudy day started to clear on the summit. Descent via Dicey's Mill was fast , with consistent grade and good trail... only 2 hrs to Ferncroft from "P" summit. Seven hours RT. |
