 | Comments: |
Great hike. Starts out flat and dry for the first 2.5 miles. Next 1.1 miles gets progressively more wet with some walking up runoff channels. Final approach to summit and decent are very slick. Path from North Hancock (Hancock) to South Hancock is muddy and hard to get around due to the thin trail---not unbearable, just a nuisance.
Great hike! |
