| Comments: |
Glidden Rd/Old Clough Rd is about as exciting as walking up a ski trail.... But if you are looking for a quick hike, these two peaks fit the bill. Relatively easy over to West Quarry and a little more rugged over to Rand. Some water is available but pack extra if traveling with a dog. Watch out for ticks too. The trails are well blazed in White.
Isis and I completed the Belknap 12 today. |
