SUMMARY:

Please join me for this 5.5 mile loop hike of Mts Morgan & Percival.  The 2200' peaks sit above Squam Lake and afford spectacular views south to Squam and Lake Winnepesauke after a 1500' elevation gain.  It's a short, challenging hike but well worth the effort for the views.  We'll ascend via the Mt Morgan trail, traverse the ridge on the Crawford-Ridgepole trail to Mr Percival where we'll have lunch above the cliffs and then descend the Mt Percival trail back to the parking lot.  Should be down by 3PM.
