 | Comments: |
Hike one of two waterfall hikes today. Arethusa Falls, the falls on Bemis Brook Tr. and the water coming off the ledges on the way down Frankenstein Cliff Tr. were all quite impressive today. Hopefully the many pictures I took will do it justice. Fairly quiet; about 20 hikers met including one I had run into last month on Carter Dome; nice meeting again. |
