| Comments: |
Pretty solid 9.6m hike from 112 to Wolf and back. No views save the good one 2.4m in, then from Wolf. The infamous 3 humps you cross from S to N esp the 1st one in the S are steep, slippery and long. Gordon Pond trl a muddy waste, either fix the sumps w logs etc
Re-route it or close it.
Plenty of hikers including a fun couple who are doing the whole AT. Good
Luck, talked to them near top of Wolf. And some chatty Yalies.
A solid 6 hr 40 minute trip, about as I remembered last time i did it 9 yrs ago.
