| Comments: |
Fun day hiking these lesser used trails of Mt. Cardigan area. Saw a bear and then 1 person & her dog about half a mile from the car! One person.......all day! Some slippery leaf cover on Elwell as you descend Bear Mtn. Lots of ups/downs on this hot day! Tree swing on WFT (north) was a cool suprise, nice to sit and get a little breeze. |
