 | Comments: |
Speck Pond Trail is pretty rugged up high with slippery bog bridging (not many though)and plenty of sloping slabs and small ledges where extreme caution needed...one can understand why herdpaths are formed around these spots...however when the trail is dry it's pretty good...stopped at May Cutoff jct., since there was no view |
