Comments
Comments: A nice loop over these three mountains. Low elevation but some steeps on the trails. A great lookout on/near each summit, no views from the summits. The col between Wonalancet and Hibbard is lovely.

Saw no one on these trails while we were out.

Neat ledges and giant boulders along the way. Hobblebush berries, a couple of blue bead lily berries, and an assortment of mushrooms added spots of color along the way. Some faint yellows and reds to a few trees, a couple colorful red leaves down on the trail here and there. Fall is coming, despite the 80 degree temps and humidity today.
