Hiking - Chuck Cook and Diane Johnson

The Squam Lakes Association closes its trails every spring in mud time to prevent trail damage. This year, they were reopened on April 17. So, I thought this column a few years ago would be a good one about one of my favorite spring hikes in the Lakes Region.

Last Saturday, my friends Diane Johnson and Chuck Cook from Conway were up for a hike beyond the Mount Washington Valley. They joined me on the 5.4-mile loop hike on Mount Morgan (2,220 feet) and Percival (2,212 feet) in the Squam Range west of Sandwich.
