 | Comments: |
Trail is primarily on dirt roads of varying ages until the last steep 0.3 miles. Roads were soft and muddy with a few small patches of snow. After the log yard, continue basically straight following old wet road marked by sporadic red blazes. The foot path was dry. Large vernal pool in the col was full of frogs vocalizing. Great views from the summit ledges. |
