 | Comments: |
Loop (up Arlene Frances Morse Trail, down Robert A. Greenwood Sr. Loop) was dry, but one would get rather wet in rainy or dew-ey weather due to protruding grass/weeds. Arlene Frances Morse Trail appears to get the most use of the three trails in this preserve. Excellent views of Alton Bay and the Belknaps, as well as points south (such as Kearsarge and Crotched).
GPS on phone claims 0.7 miles to the top via Arlene Frances Morse Trail, about 0.05 miles to the Mary Jane Morse Greenwood-Robert A Greenwood Sr. Loop junction, 0.5 miles down (initially uphill) the Robert A. Greenwood Sr. Loop, then 0.5 miles back to the road (on Arlene Frances Morse Trail). |
