Once more weather forecasts, promising sun and mild temperatures, were completely wrong... Anyway we decided to hike Mt. Monadnock (it was my second time...). During the almost 2 hrs car drive from Boston to Jaffrey the weather changed from clouds to blue sky, clouds again and even snow...
We started our hike under a heavy but short lasting snowfall direction Cascade link to reach the intersection to the Spellmann trail (the most difficult path in the region...). Following the Spellmann trail we crossed the Pumpelly trail, which led us to the top of the Monadnock from the NW side.
Since the weather conditions were not very inviting, we decided to descend to the Smith connection intersection, and to continue via Bald Rock and Parker trail to finally reach our car.
Because of strong winds and freezing temperatures we could not really enjoy the beautiful view from the top. For the same reasons we decided to give up the idea to walk also the Amphiteatre trail and the scenic Cliff trail.
Mount Monadnock is actually a real mountain! Not because of the elevation but because of the difficulty of some trails, which are real T3 (especially Spellmann)! (ok, not comparable to Switzerland... but for this region it is the maximum I could find...)
