The trip report
8 GO members and 3 dogs summited the imposing peaks of Black Snout and Great Ossipee on a nearly perfect spring day. Men and beasts all seemed to get along well and enjoy the hike and clear views of lakes and mountains.

About this event
Please join me for my favorite early spring hike to the summits of Black Snout (2803') and Mt Shaw (2990'), highest "peaks" in the Ossipee Mountains. The overall moderate roundtrip is 7.6 miles which includes a 1/2 mile somewhat strenuous section just before joining the old carriage road (from Castle in the Clouds) which then takes us easily to both summits with views of Lake Winnipesaukee (from Black Snout) and the Whites (from Shaw). A good, vigorous 1st hike to get you ready for summer. Come with a daypack, lunch, plenty of water and layers (depending on the forecast). Rain date will probably be Sunday 1 May but contact if in doubt.
