Route: Lakeview Trail, (Locke's Hill), Quarry Trail

Loop was mostly dry and in good shape. Minor mud near the quarry area.

My first time doing this loop in stellar weather. The near-summit vista (dramatically cleared out in the past year) had views reaching to Mt. Washington over deep blue Lake Winnipesaukee. Fantastic.
