 | Comments: |
I wanted to pop in here to check the flow on the falls, which was still meager even after the recent rain. That's ok though, this is still one of the wildest spots in western NH. The trails were definitely wet but not overly muddy. The spur trail to the falls has some slippery rocks and rough footing to watch out for. Cool temps today but still very humid air. Blugh. |
