 | Comments: |
Zealand Trail and Ethan Pond Trail are in excellent shape. We went up the slide to Whitewall Mountain then headed up the cliffs below the summit. The slide is a mix of rocks of all sizes, some are loose, the steepness and loose rocks reminded me of part of North Tripyramid Slide. The cliffs weren't to tough to get up but some handholds were brittle. Thoreau Falls Trail is a beautiful trail and in pretty good shape. There is a washout along the North Fork but not difficult to stay on trail. Wilderness Trail has a washout when it coincides with the Cedar Brook Trail. East side trail has the one major washout. All brook crossings throughout the day were low and rock hop-able. |
