| Comments: |
With all of the snow up up north decided to work on some redlining in the Belknaps. Brook Trail starts at an information board at the bottom of the ski slopes. It references two other trails, not the Brook Trail but we didn't see anything else so we went took the left roadway, in a few moments we saw a blaze and small sign on the ground. Nice trail follows the brook for a ways and then crosses the ski slope multiple times. Put on spikes since there was still quite a bit of snow and ice in the woods and they were helpful for the balance of the day until a halfway down Overlook Trail where it we saw bare ground. |
