 | Water Crossing Notes: |
there were a couple of water crossings on Gordon Pond Trail, all rock hoppable (just had to check there wasn't black ice) |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One has to marvel at the steps and stone work on Kinsman Ridge Trail; Gordon Pond Trail is lightly used, and had large sections that were very muddy... a couple of blowdowns... but generally in good shape / easy to follow. At the southern end of GPT, the trail shares use with sno-mo trails, so pay attention to the signs and keep an eye out for blazes. |

 | Comments: |
Gordon Pond Trail was muddy and wet in place, absolutely beautiful in places (birch glades and falls), and a bit boring down low near the power lines.
Wolf Cub is a scrappy whack... but it's done. |
