Goodrich Rock

Undaunted by cloudy skies, humidity, rapacious bugs, and the threat of thunderstorms, ten hikers started their Memorial Day weekend at Waterville Valley with a hike to Goodrich Rock.    In addition to having a really cool ladder (yes, everyone climbed the ladder), this hike is of geologic interest because the Davis Boulders and Goodrich Rock, itself, are among the largest glacial erratics in New England.                                                                                                                                                                      

Pictured, from left to right are Brenda Concklin, Cheryl Moak, Roy Loiselle, Matt Adams, Ellen Adams, Marilyn Clarkson, Bill Weeks, Susan Wood, and John Bibas.  Not pictured is hike leader Gary Moak. 

It didn't rain, and the trail was totally dry, thanks to the great work done by the WVAIA trail crew earlier in the month.  Despite the overcast, the valley view from the top of Goodrich Rock (2250') was spectacular.
