Other than some mudpits in the flats, the trails were generally dry and in good shape. Good foliage north Campton along the I-93 corridor, as well as in Twin Mountain. Colors aren't vibrant, but a good variety. Some good colors seen below and around the Sugarloaves. Still plenty of green leaves as well.
