 | Comments: |
Really recommend doing this as a traverse if you can, it was cool to experience two very different trails to the same summit in the same hour. THs were only 14 minutes apart! If I had to choose just one for an out and back, I would opt for Chippewa because of the Lime Kiln and ample views before the summit. It is truly a great trail for those low attention span hikers in your life who want an experience more than a "walk in the woods" as my brother would call it.
As always, blog post for more info and pictures! |
