 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry up to big ball, some mud up to black snout and had our first summit beer enjoying the views to gunstock. Super easy hiking to shaw with some minor snow patch avoidable. Second summit beer was enjoyed on shaw and views of snow capped mt washington. Mt shaw trail was a mixed bag of nuts 30% was a river. River crossing were tough due to no easy stepping points, poles helped. Overall great spring hike. |
