Comments
Comments: The original plan for the day was Mt Major but knowing that it would be crazy we decided on Straightback instead. Despite the crowded parking area we saw only several others out there today. Trails were dry with no mud to speak of. Notice more trash left on the trail than ever before. First time in the Belknaps for my brother and his family. All the kids did great with this hike. Belknap Peak number 3 For Emma!
