hiker on soggy wet trail to Belknap Mountain in New Hampshire

Dave S. and Fred hiked Belknap Mountain (2382-ft; Belknap Range, NH) and Gunstock Mountain (2250-ft) in late March 2003. The weather -- warm, windy and foggy -- creates a trail alternating between rotten snow, mud, and running water. Because the access road is closed in winter, we walk an extra 1.5 miles each way to reach the peaks.
