Comments
Comments: With the cool temperatures, high winds, and expected crowds, we decided to head off the beaten path. Smarts Brook is as nice as the WMG describes it, never gets really steep. Algonquin is very steep in places, but has great views. Did not see anyone on Smarts Brook and only a total of 7 for the day The road walk, on Sandwich Notch Road, was nice except for the steep uphill at the beginning. 1.75 hours back to car on Rt49.
