Gorgeous hike on a beautiful weather day. Saw high peaks in VT, NY and NH. Trail is easy for 1st two miles, moderate next mile+, and steep for last .1-.2. Some mud but plenty of rocks and logs to avoid the worst. Surprisingly uncrowded - saw less than 10 people all day and had the summit to myself for 45 min. |
