 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Cascade Brook was flowing torrentially and totally uncrossable. Even with waders it would have been far too dangerous, either going north-south on the Basin Cascades trail or south-north on the Cascade Brook trail. We had to bushwhack for over a mile up along, or at a slight distance parallel to the north, until finally connecting with the Cascade Brook trail above where it crosses. From there to Lonesome Lake, the trail was pretty much under water. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Pemi Trail looks like the forgotten child. Most bridges have washed or rotted out.
From Kinsman Pond trail to L.Lake it's pretty much just stepping stones and one-out-of-two log bridges. Probably a bit more inviting when not submerged. |
