| Comments: |
Trails were wet with the on and off showers today. Some pooled water at the Brook Trail-Saddle Trail junction. Rock steps installed in recent years make the ridge much safer in wet/slippery conditions. No snow or ice encountered. Still some late fall foliage colors in the trees in places. |
