| Comments: |
After seeing sides of Rte 302 in Bethlehem I was surprised that the trails were in pretty good condition. Pretty much normal conditions. Dry for first mile; then some water and mud in sections after brook crossings and repeat of this trend. Was able to keep feet dry while staying on trail center by using rocks and taking a little time. Nice hiking a trail with some long smooth sections. |
