A few weeks ago we decided to go hiking with a couple of our friends. It was our first hike of the season so we wanted to do something that wasn’t too difficult. Dan chose Belknap and we were able to do Gunstock easily along with Belknap.
We all met up early in the morning and drove up together. It was a beautiful day and trail was really cool. On our way up we saw a couple really cool spider webs that were pretty much perfect circles tucked in to parts of the trail. I’m not a big fan of spiders but I thought the webs were pretty amazing. At the top of Belknap there is an old fire tower, which you have to climb to get any kind of view. The climb is a little sketchy but the view from the top is pretty good.
From the top of Belknap, we took a side trail to the top of Gunstock. There were a few people at the top of Gunstock who had ridden the gondola up to the top. There was a pretty view from the top. From there, we headed back down to the car. There were a lot of cool stone steps that had been put into the trail down to make it easier.
Overall, it was a great first hike of the season. Not too hard but also not too easy. There were some great views and some great time spent with friends!
