Comments
Comments: Typical spring hike with lots of muddy patches on trails and hazy views. Be advised that there are significant icy patches approaching the summits of both Gunstock and Belknap where spikes are advised. Viewing tower on Belknap gets you up to see the lakes. Views from the top of Gunstock are more wide open. Have to be careful on the way down Overlook to find the parking lot. Map is a good idea. Good to get out. Kestrel data: none
