| Comments: |
We make a nice 11 mile loop by turning off the Algonqui and hiking in to Black Mt Pond. Then up the steep cliffs on the BMP Trail to rejoin the Algonquin and up to Sandwich. The return stays on the Algonquin and out.
Great views once above the cliffs and along the trail. Today the summit was in clouds, and we got snowflakes and rain at times on the return. |
