Awesome last day of vacation hike with Forestgnome!!!! We did the loop to Sandwich Dome by ascending Gleason Trail and descending Bennett Street Trail. Then, when back at Flat Mountain Pond Trail, ascended that to Flat Mountain Pond and enjoyed exploring the woods and a snack at the pond. We found a BEAUTIFUL waterfall along the way!!!! A fun day outside and not a soul anywhere!!! Our only company was a military-looking helicopter which toured the Wilderness ;) overhead while we were at the pond!!! |
