Comments
Comments: Early morning new to me trail today... out and back with Charlie and Wes. The resort's trail description of "This short, easy trail closely parallels the Mad River.." It is not easy. This trail is extremely challenging for those that would not be happy climbing or descending 55 steep continuous steps or rock hopping across the fast moving waters of the West Branch of the Mad River! Wouldn't you know the large rock right in the middle of the river is the most pointy and difficult compared to all the other flat and nice rocks? It's a short mile one-way and it's pretty. And this trail is right on the bank of the river!
