Comments
Comments: We did a counterclockwise loop. Mud Brook trail was basically dry. A little hard to navigate on the ledges. There are some small cairns but we still followed 2 dead ends. Clouds obscured most of the view of Mt Washington, but everything else was visible. Mud Brook down from summit and first part of Caribou were rough on knees and ankles. After that there were many waterfalls. Only saw 5 people all day.
