 | Comments: |
A quick hike up to Rowe to check a few things then across the ridge to Gunstock because it was such a nice afternoon. Trails were mostly dry, although Brook Trail did have some wet ledge and mud in places.
The new view spur off the Road Bypass route is fantastic! Great view out to the Ossipees from here. This alternate footpath route is a much nicer approach to Rowe from this side than schlepping up the access road.
Sunny skies and cool air today really made it feel like autumn. Very quiet also, only two people seen all afternoon. |
