"Did Franconia Ridge Loop on Sunday, 11/17/19. It ended up being a really nice day. Pretty much sunshine all day. Was 11 deg at the base when we started, hit about 25 for a high on the ridgeline. There were pretty blustery conditions on the peaks only, in general it was fairly calm. Probably gusted to 20 mph. Several inches of snow, too soon for snowshoes. Used microspikes the whole way." — Alohabuffy • Nov 17, 2019

"Hiked the old carriage road to the top of Wantastiquet. Nice views of Brattleboro, Stratton Mt., & Bromley from the summit. Putney was
another short hike to an open summit with views of Mt. Monadnock to the east & Stratton to the west." — billsussdorff • Nov 13, 2019
