 | Comments: |
Excellent loop hike described in Southern NH Guide (3rd Ed.) that encompasses hiking the entire ridge east to west. Weather was actually ideal today for hiking. Around mid to upper 60s, cloud cover with occasional breaks of sun, and cool NE breezes. A lot to see when rambling along the ridge. Trails, blazes, and signage in really great shape and well taken care of. Only crossed five groups of people on my entire loop. |
