Took the route up Owls head, it was a fantastic trail, pretty much straight up. I liked the way it emerged directly onto the summit ledge. From there it's across the ridge on "Martha's Mile" to the summit of Mt. Martha. A former fire tower site that has grown over considerably. There is a side path off to the east that comes to a nice little ledge with great views towards the Franconia Range and points east as well. I decided to descend the Cherry mt trail and do the road walk back. I had failed to clock the distance on the drive over and it turned out to be further than I thought, but hey training miles never hurt. Saw one person near the end. This is a nice hike. #10 for our third round of the 52wav list. P.S. The view from Owls Head over to the presidential range is magnificent.
