 | Comments: |
The mostly sunny forecast did not materialize (didn't even notice a cameo of the sun), so the trails were quite wet and slippery. Lots of slippery ledge on the Gunstock Mountain Trail, until reaching the rebuilt trail on the ridge (much easier travel).
The Saddle Trail-Brook Trail junction, as well as about a tenth of a mile of the trail uphill, has been relocated out of the swamp. Soft, smooth footbed at the moment.
Fall foliage still in the early phases, but colors starting to pop up. |
