 | Comments: |
Lincoln Brook Trail has a few mud pits and random blowdowns, kind of messy and rough over a few sections. The bushwhacks (Fisherman's and Brutus) were on the easier side to navigate if you pay attention. Owl's Head Path is wet at the top of the slide when entering the woods, other than that it was pretty straight forward. East Side, Lincoln Woods, Pine Island, Franconia Falls were in excellent shape.
Very hot and muggy day in the woods but still a lot of fun roaming around the inner Pemi. Fun exploring some old RR camps off trail on the way out. |
