Comments
Comments: First time hiking this, lovely trails, woods, ledges, glacial erratics, foliage and lookouts. Nice to get a 7.5 mi hike with greater than 1500 feet of gain in southern NH.

Saw just five people all day, most headed up the way we did, one appeared to come up Shannon Tr.

A worthy hike to play hooky from work for, will be back to snowshoe some trails if snow happens.
