Plenty! Mostly mosquitoes and gnats. A few hornets on summit of Chocorua, but I had no issue with them because the other bugs were so relentless. We didn’t hang around for long at any stops. |

Saw a black, very warn shirt hanging on a tree limb on Champney Falls trail between the loop and the cutoff. Also saw a bandana hanging on a tree at the cutoff. |

 | Comments: |
Loved this hike. Didn’t find it too difficult, but the rocky trail seemed to get rockier during our descent. It was a beautiful day, clear day, and the views were magnificent. If not for the bugs, it would have been perfect. We had a great time. |
