Well I went for the big loop finally. It was a great day to get out and get the peaks, trails, and the last .8 trail section of the AT in NH. The 4k's were nothing new but then I headed down a-z trail and that is some fun woods for sure. The woods changes constantly and I was shocked to see a couple coming up the trail! Once I got on the ethan pond trail I was able to grab the last section for me which was probably the flatest section I could have left. It was from zeacliff trail junction to thoreau falls trail. This was amazing footing and views for days. I will come back and get whitewall one day for sure! I forgot the much hate I had for the bog bridges that are just falling apart after this part though. So much traffic and it is just a mess that looks like hasn't been touched in years. I will do this loop again one day to keep up the different views for the grid though! |
