Comments
Comments: A bit of redlining today. Started at Wood Rd and took the East Gilford Trail to Round Pond Trail to the Round Pond/Piper Link and then headed up Belknap via the Boulder Trail. Descended via the White Trail and returned to the parking lot via the Round Pond/Piper Link, Round Pond Trail, and the fire road. The East Gilford Trail extends about 0.20 miles of new trail to the new parking area.

All trails were in better shape than I expected for spring conditions--many areas free of mud and very dry. The wettest/muddiest was the steeper sections of the White Trail. Some pools of standing water on the Round Pond/Piper Link but all easily avoidable. No snow or ice anywhere.
