Comments
Comments: All trails are easy to follow. I don't know why more people don't hike this loop. Boott Spur is incredible with continuous, spectacular views. It was my favorite part of this hike. Direttissima will take you directly to the Pinkham Notch parking lot. There is unexpected elevation gain on this short 1 mile trail but it is a nice alternative to the road walk. 37 down 11 to go :D
