| Comments: |
A very neat area, not far from Manchester, but reminiscent of Lost River Gorge in the Whites. I did a 2.7 mi. loop, descending via KT and TT, and climbing back up through the ravine. Trails are mostly dry except for some wet rocks and mud along RT. Some of the rocks in here are mossy and slick so use caution. I also did a short side trip to check out the old mill ruins, very cool! The hike up through the ravine is the highlight of this area. Lots of boulders, high walls and caves to check out. It must have been rocking in here with the storms a few weeks ago. I'll definitely be back to photograph this properly. |
