Comments
Comments: Packed up to Bald Mountain and tracks ended at Weetamoo trail…. After that I broke trail to the summit of Mt Chocorua…. A lot of wind blown snow and drifts I plowed through….. tough hike…. The last 0.3 was a slog but I got there. I did my best to even it out on the way back. There is a small bump just before you get to Jim Liberty cabin when going up…. Follow my tracks, I bushwhacked over to a bald spot with excellent views. A lot of snow up there.
