Trails(s) Hiked:
Difficulty: Moderate (for me at least)
Conditions: Cloudy with sunny breaks, trails a bit muddy
Special Required Equipment: None
Trip Report: Made my first trip to Monadnock with my son today. With the clouds, the views weren't the best they could have been, but for the most part we didn't see anyone else...saw maybe 4 - 6 people at the summit. We heard about a few school groups but avoiding the White Dot/White Cross route by going up via the Red Dot trail seemed to do the trick.
Had a great time...realized that I was quite out of shape, though. Would like to head back again at some point this summer but I know that we were spoiled by the lack of crowds...
