Brook walk with the 7 waterfalls was impressive. Put microspikes on halfway up Bald knob cutoff. 2-3 inches of sticky snow to Bald knob.... nice views..... no wind. Used trekking poles on way down... snow getting slushy... not going to last long. Took them off at end of Bald knob cutoff.... eventually Shannon brook trail is closed so you have to take connector to Turtleback mtn trail to Shannon pond to finish up to parking. Bald knob can be barebooted carefully but I felt more comfortable with microspikes.... 5.2 mile loop ✌🻠|
