Trip Report/Photos
Thanks to Neil, Dave, Wayne, Woody, and Jim for joining us on this hike on a beautiful sunny day in the mid 60s. We had a gentle walk up to Round Pond, where we enjoyed the views, before heading up to viewpoint out towards Lake Winnepesaukee near the spur trail to Mt Klem where we had lunch. After lunch we did the spur trail to the wooded 2001 foot summit of Mt Klem. On the way to Mt Mack (1945 feet) we passed by other great views, then back down to Round Pond and then back to the start. Most of us then went out to dinner at the Italian Farmhouse in Plymouth that night, and we also decided to hike again the next day, walking a 5 mile loop via ski trails at Waterville Valley to the top of the Snow Mountain chairlift. I added two pictures of Dave and Woody standing on the top of Elephant Rock at Waterville Valley as they were quite cool, it looks impossible to get up there from this side, but very do-able on the other side.
