 | Comments: |
A 8.05 mile loop with 2385 ft of vertical. The first slabs going up Mt Major were dry, the upper slabs were damp in places. The trails were all dry. Some intersections did not have signs, but did have colored blazes that corresponded to the Belknap Range hiking map. Once past Mt Major we only saw a few people. Those these may be small mountains the trails were challenging with several steep pitches. Most views were on Mt Major. |
