| Comments: |
excellent day out in beautiful country..gorgeous birch glades..some old haunted forest, wonderfully soft trailbed in many places and fine views from multiple viewpoints mades this one of the nicest hikes of the year..Fall starting to come up country and there are leaves falling and ferns going by..Lingered for awhile on the Horn which was chilly but excellent..first time for me on the Terrace section..excellent remote feel with not much more than a herd path to follow..in fact a few intersecting herd paths were more pronounced than the trail |
