Good workout too, in that middle section.<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-55411116680123943542013-05-19T08:47:57.253-04:002013-05-19T08:47:57.253-04:00Hi Steve

Views from the ledges were better than expected for a small mountain. <br />BVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-13220895187777683352010-05-11T22:11:34.036-04:002010-05-11T22:11:34.036-04:00Thanks Ray - it's was a long day traversing th...Thanks Ray - it's was a long day traversing that ridge, but a great whack. On another trip I did part of the south ridge out-and-back from Stinson Lake Road. I'll let you know if we plan something up there.<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-38858227446145863272010-05-11T12:27:20.964-04:002010-05-11T12:27:20.964-04:00Thanks for posting Steve!

I've had my eye on exploring summit ridge of Carr Mountain especially since it is fairly short drive for me coming from Waltham as I do. Your post has re-wetted my appetite for such a trip. It does sound like a seldom visited area for being so accessible. Should you ever wish to make it a threesome, please drop me a line. If work happens to be slow I’d be available for a mid-week romp in the woods.<br /><br />JazzbeauxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-25217656194385540852010-05-09T19:20:47.468-04:002010-05-09T19:20:47.468-04:00Thanks, John - it's a neat little mountain. I ...Thanks, John - it's a neat little mountain. I wouldn't mind going back to part or all of the whack along those southern ridges of Carr. Several fine ledge viewpoints to visit. That area can also be approached from a spot on Stinson Lake Road.<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-12624202984200659342010-05-09T16:02:09.188-04:002010-05-09T16:02:09.188-04:00Steve, thank you for taking us along on this journ...Steve, thank you for taking us along on this journey. Rattlesnake (Rumney) is one of the many places that I have yet to visit in my short 5 years of hiking the Whites. I've been curious what can be seen from this little mountain. Your report did a fine job of detailing the sights along the way, as well as the views from the top!<br /> <br />As a bonus feature, you also satisfied my curiosity about other points of interest along the Carr ridge. That indeed must have been quite an off-trail adventure with J.R. back in August 2005 when you did a 6-mile ridgecrest exploration from the summit of Rattlesnake to the summit of Carr!<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHiker1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
