Day 132

Although I’ve done all of these trails before back in 2020, I forgot how many PUDs there were. What I thought would be a nice “easy” day ended up being 11 miles and almost 3000’ of elevation gain. The Randolph Town Forest is one of the most underrated areas of The Whites. With hidden covered bridges, moss covered ledges shaped like steps, and views of the northern presidentials, I was blown away the first time I hiked in this area in 2020. Since then I’ve visited the Randolph Town Forest a few times just for fun and as part of my hiking project. Pond Of Safety, nestled at the far end of the forest, is clearly not visited often (at least not from the Durand Road side) and I felt like an explorer stumbling upon this small pond on a dead end forest road.
