Started with the Highwater Trail to the Shelburne Trail for a nice easy hike today. Did some trail work of clearing small blowdowns and branches. A really nice day with temps from 45 to 75, sunny with some clouds. Nice views of the river and surrounding peaks through the leafless trees. A lot of crunchy leaves on the trails. I saw only 2 hikers as I returned to the bridge over the Wild River. It was still early so I hiked up to the Roost to check the views of the Wild River valley. |
