Comments
Comments: Did loop counter-clockwise, i.e. followed Bickford Brook Trail to Blueberry Ridge Trail to intersection with Red Rock Trail, took Red Rock Trail to summit of Speckled, doubled back down Red Rock Trail and descended via the Bickford Brook Trail. Would not recommend doing this loop clockwise this time of year. Wet and slippery, not overly icy but I'm sure it will be soon. Some sections of Red Rock Trail were entirely frozen but I was able to navigate around them without microspikes
