Comments
Comments: From High St. to Tunnel Brook Trail had been packed. Tunnel Brook to first crossing also packed. From first crossing to about 2200' where we went in we were the first on the trail. TBT would still need lots of feet on it to consolidate. BW started easy and open, then we hit the steep section. Very thick and very steep. Got up to about 2800' and decided time wise to head down. Still a great day out. The Tunnel Brook area is beautiful.
