| Comments: |
Easy hike today, hitting the summits of Round, Frissell and Brace. The skies were mostly blue and the weather was spectacular. We also highpointed CT on our way to Brace. There were many people out today enjoying the views. The trails were bone dry and the leaves are just starting to change. In another week or two the leaves are going to peak in colors. There were a few steep sections but nothing that was overly difficult.
Plan for a leisurely hike so you can spend lots of time on the summits taking in the views. Just shy of five miles and four and a half hours with lots of breaks. |
