Looking down the Bucknell Trail on the way to Prospect Mountain
Route: Bucknell Trail, (Prospect Mountain), Scarboro Ridge Trail, bushwhack, Scarboro Ridge Trail, buswhack, (Prospect Mountain), Bucknell Trail
With a few hours of decent afternoon weather, I headed up Prospect Mountain to do some more work on the Scarboro Ridge Trail project. My first time on the ridge with decent vista weather, I had moderate views from the Prospect Mountain summit area. However, as I headed north on the ridge trail route, I passed many excellent ledge views of the Whites and into Maine.
On this day, I was able to make it a bit north of 1,358 peak. Having made it south of 1,557 peak a few days earlier, the connection day shouldn't be too far off.
