 | Comments: |
We did a west to east traverse of the Shelburne trails. All the trails were dry; no mud, ice or snow. Spectacular views of snow capped Washington, Adams and Madison from Mt Crag and Mt Cabot. All intersections had signs. We came down the Blue Trail from Mt Cabot. About 2/3 of the way down the trail disappears into a logging operation. We had to use GPS to find our way back to the trail. We saw a bear at the Crow's Nest and a bear nest right on the White Trail. We did not see anyone all day. |
