 | Comments: |
This was a SELT (Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire) field trip to visit one of their newest conservation easements and to tour the in-progress trail system. Kennard Hill is also the Epping high point.
Trails were wet as expected with some puddles and mud but nothing too crazy. A recent timber harvest has opened up a view on the way up to the summit.
Despite the forecast for showers in the morning, the hike started out with blue skies then got a little cloudy. No rain though. |
