| Comments: |
Skylight Pond Trail well blazed and kicked out about 1 week prior to hike. Long trail to wilson wasn't as easy to follow, but was kicked out earlier and we could follow the tracks. Breadloaf MY well marked with junction to LT. Great views to the S/W from outlook. Mt. Wilson more questionable as it's a long ridge w/o a sign indicating summit. Must walk the ridge for some time before decending to be sure you have hit summit.Used skylight Pond cabin as base. Had it too ourselves. |
