| Comments: |
Steady uphill to Start King and peaceful over to Waumbec. Views of the northern Presidentials were great from Starr King. It’s a peaceful fern covered walk over to Waumbek. Hike beyond the summit to view point for another lovely view. Trails were fairly damp throughout with a couple of spots of significant mud. Otherwise it was smooth sailing. |
