Guinea Pond Spur was in rough shape, but the rest of the day was pretty awesome! |

| Comments: |
Really incredible loop that gives you a good sample of everything you can get in the Sandwich Wilderness. Lots of water, great couple of spots to sit and relax, and this would be such a fun intro to backpacking down steep stuff with an overnight at the pond!
