White Mountains Guide Day Thirty-Three

A long walk in the woods. That is what today was, for sure. An out and back on Haystack Notch Trail today left me feeling nostalgic for my time in the woods after spending a lot of my summer above the trees. This trail is overgrown with hobblebush, muddy in spots, and will require care to follow. It reaches the height of land from both route 113 and Morrill Road in Maine. Going was steady most of the day, but I’ve reached a point in the summer where I cringe on the downhills because my knees are fed up.
