I would not recommend this for anything but a trail hardened Thru Hiking dog. There is minimal water to start and it just gets TOUGH. I apologized to Isis for this one... You are not hiking your hike, you are hiking theirs. |

So, I was heading out to the border of NH/ME on the AT... Ended up bailing on the second day as the return trip might have one me in. We stayed at Gentian Shelter with a handful of Thru hikers in a BIG thunder storm. This was a very trying trail section... Too many scrambles and tougher section to deal with. BUT there are also some great section with a lot of pretty views. Pick our poison I guess... Mud too. Lots of mud. Almost Vermud but not quite. Even though I bailed only original plan, this was still a fantastic overnight. |
