Date of Hike: 1/26/14
Overlook Trail / Blue Trail / Brook Trail / Mount Major Trail / Bushwhack: 9.5 miles (3,500 feet elevation gained)
Trip Report:
- Sunday's plan was to do a Belknap Range Traverse but with the wind and cold temps I cut that short and did a nice quick hike of Belknap and Gunstock.
- I ascended the Overlook Trail. It ended up being a really nice trail as the Overlook Trail was pretty with some nice outlooks along the way.
- Once gaining the ridge I headed up to Belknap and climbed up the tower. The little room up top was closed but we still had a great view of Lake Winnipesaukee.
- I had a quick hike back down to the car and since it was still early I decided to do a speed hike up to Mount Major.
- It was a quick and easy jaunt up to the summit and when I reached the top I took a few pics then booked it back down the mountain.
- It was a fast and furious descent and a lot of fun, even going off trail through the open woods and making my own way off the mountain through unbroken fluffy snow!
