Comments
Comments: Mount Cube Section (of the Cross Rivendell Trail.


This is a very pleasant section of trail. Gone is the old barn of a shelter that used to be a quarter mile from the road (it could still be there for all I know, this trail doesn't go to it anymore). The summit was nice in the late afternoon. Could just barely make out the old, white AT blazes and DOC tiger stripes under the new blue blazes on the ledges just before the top.
