 | Comments: |
Trails were damp in places from the pop up downpours/thunderstorms today, resulting in some wet ledges. The more dangerous ledge scrambles on the Belknap Range Trail between Gunstock and Belknap now have stone staircases, making for safer passage. Upper Red Trail and upper Gunstock Mountain Trail still have extended areas of slippery ledge. |
