White Mountain Guide Day 53

Today was a really pretty day of hiking. I’ve done this trail two times in the past so I knew that it would be a perfect place to go to see the foliage and I was right. Although the Carter region is past peak, it was still really nice out. I saw some moose scat and possibly bear scat as well (although Danielle says it’s also moose scat). I am officially ¼ of the way done with tracing in 14 months and ironically also ¼ of the way done with the New England 100 Highest as well. It was a really nice day and I highly recommend Slippery Brook for a long gradual approach to the Baldfaces.
