These were #8 and #9 on the Ossipee 10 for us. Aside from completing the list, Faraway isn’t terribly interesting. Once we were past Roberts we really didn’t see many other people until we got back down near the pond which was a little surprising. This clocked out at 11.4 miles for us.
Having done three of them last weekend, it occurred to me that an Ossipee ridge traverse might be interesting: Roberts, Faraway, Shaw, Flagg, and Sentinel. You could add Bald Knob, Turtleback, and Black Snout fairly easily. Big Ball is a little out of the way (and Bayle isn’t connected to the same trail network). |
