Pack Monadnock

This would be another short hike on my way through New Hampshire.  Located in Miller State Park, the summit can be reached via car or a short 1.5 mile hike.  I'm Chris Hiker for a reason.

The trail would be steep at times.  I passed a woman with a large pack who was struggling.  I would be too if I had the pack she had.  It looked to be well over 50 pounds!

I reached the summit in less than an hour.  Pack Monadnock has a fire tower.  This one also had an interpreter inside the cabin.  He gave myself and another guy the rundown on the mountains that were in view.  On a more clear day, we would be able to see Stratton.  Apparently it still has a substantial amount of snow left, though it's been closed for a while.
