Looking up the Red Hill Trail
An unconscious pattern of hikes brought me to Red Hill on a warm but somewhat windy day. Previously I had hiked the Blue Hills, White Ledge, and Green Mountain. Colorful.
My initial plan was to hike the Champney Falls Trail, however at the last minute I opted for Mt. Whiteface, only to change my mind and consider Mt. Israel. Not wanting to deal with any potential snow, I ended up continuing west to Red Hill.
Though there had been snow on the trail just about two weeks earlier, things had melted and dried nicely on the Red Hill Trail.
While there was some blue sky to be seen, there was also a lot of haze - especially above Squam Lake. Nonetheless, it was great to see a blue Lake Winnipesaukee for the first time in months! While on the tower, I heard calls about a fire on Mt. Major come in over the radio - though I couldn't make out any smoke, it didn't sound good.
