Mount Willey / Mount Field - NH (Mountain)

-end of Willey House Station Road, Whitefield, New Hampshire
-visited August 2015
-2.7 to Willey, additional 1.4 to Field
-moderate
-no bathroom
-nearby: Ripley Falls (Mount Willey), Mount Tom, Arethusa Falls, Mount Willard
-notes:
      -dirt parking lot, free
     -Ripley Falls is a short spur trail on Mount Willey
     -Have to cross railroad tracks
     -going up Willey is difficult, there is a lot of erosion, a ton of stepping, and a ton of man made stairs, lots of stone
     -Willey has a steep incline to it on top of all the stepping
     -a ton! of spider webs across the trail
     -the view on Willey is from a lookout that is not actually the summit, decent limited view over the valley, have to battle trees though
     -summit is marked by a pile of stones
    -trail across top of the mountains is easy, mix of up and down hills, some stone/roots but much less stepping
    -Field summit is marked by a pile of rocks as well
    -view from Field is a short spur trail that opens to a view on the other side of the valley but again is limited by trees
     -entire trail is shaded by trees
     -very slick when it rains
