| Comments: |
We made a big loop to pick up some missed sections.Dryad Falls very dry and unimpressive as was Giant on this day.A ton of wood walkways have been installed on the Peabody, making that muddy mess a little more bearable than when we saw it in July. Ledges on Bald Cap well worth the .5 mile trail to see. Nicely made spur trail off peabody brook trail.
Peabody Brook to Middle Mt. section of Middle Mountain Trail Extremely lightly used,but thankfully well blazed.Trail down from Middle Mountain to Gates Brook a little better, and being worked on. |
