 | Comments: |
This was a great way to do the Dome! We went up the steep ledgy part that gave some good views of Welch/Dickey, Tecumseh and all around and then ridge walks over to the peak. Then down the wild and in some ways overgrown, boulder strewn Smarts Brook Trail. This one was very wet in places and afforded us a much needed refreshing swim about a mile from the spotted car we left. |
