Mt. Klem, Mt. Mack
Gilford, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Round Pond Trail
Route: Fire Road, Round Pond Trail, Round Pond-Piper Link, Red Trail, Red-Orange Trail, Orange Trail
Trails were generally dry with some leaf obscured minor mud and puddles. Some wet ledges that could ice up overnight, but probably not significant enough to warrant light traction in the morning.
With the exception of a short portion of rebuilt logging road near the start of the Fire Road, this is a nice, scenic 6.5 mile loop that's generally pretty nice to trail run. Still some nice late fall foliage colors as well.
Decent sunset from Mack. Annoyed a beaver near the shore of Round Pond while descending in the dark. Also heard either a coyote or bear above the Round Pond Trail-Fire Road junction while descending.
