Comments
Comments: Bennett Street (w/section on Gleason/Flat Pond)

Dusting of snow, increasing to about an inch or so near the summit; microspikes were very helpful, especially on upper part of descent.

great hike, taking us through varied landscape -- old logging roads, high mountain coires, river valley. Wonderful views on top today, all the way to Presidentials and Franconia. Not crowded.
