Great views today. Glad I tooked the AT route rather than Sugarloaf. There were some very interesting views on the AT below the spur. Loved looking at the slide/ravine paralleling the trail. Not many on the trails today, but did see 3 thru hikers, a 4 person trail crew and 4 others. Awesome hike. |
