Chuck Cook and Diane Johnson scrambling up Mount Morgan above the ladder. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

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 Mounts Morgan (2,220 feet) and Percival (2,212 feet) in the Squam Range west of Sandwich.

The Morgan/Percival loop is a very popular hike. These are small but rugged mountains, with steep and rocky eastern slopes. The trails are maintained by the Squam Lakes Association. In the spring during mud season their trails are closed to prevent damage. Last Friday was the day they were reopened, and Saturday many people hiked Morgan/Percival.
