Looking up the Foss Mountain Trail
Route: Foss Mountain Trail, (Foss Mountain North Peak), Foss Mountain Trail
After having my knee flare up Tuesday, I was off my feet for a few days. While I had planned to take this day off as well, I couldn't resist the urge to take a quick walk up Foss Mountain on my way back from North Conway.
While the trail was a bit wet from an early afternoon shower, it was nonetheless doable. The views from the north peak were hazy but good.
The knees weren't particularly happy about ascending or descending, but alas I made it down in one piece.
