Flagg Trail, Gorilla Trail, (Mt. Flagg), Gorilla Trail, Mt. Flagg Trail Looking to do something snow free, I decided to head down to the Ossipees and try Mt. Flagg on its own for the first time (I had previously hiked it only as part of traverses). After signing in at the camp office, I headed down the dirt road and was soon on the Mt. Flagg Trail. The trail had suffered a moderate amount of damage from the December ice storm, thus resulting in me taking a few hours on the way up and down to move a bunch of downed branches and trees. It was a nice day - blue sky, warm temperatures, and very little snow! The views from the top were quite nice - a white Mount Washington looming over a snow-free Mount Chocorua. Finishing up the trail maintenance and hiking around sunset, I was treated to watching a porcupine waddling across the field adajcent to the parking lot.
