Jackson, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down the Black Mountain Ski Trail
Route: Black Mountain Ski Trail, Black Mountain Cutoff, East Pasture Trail
Trail was damp but otherwise not bad. Pretty decent footing for the whole loop. As often noted, the views from the summit are underwhelming. Nice foliage, though.
