Beautiful hike, especially peabody brook trail and the two spurs, Giant Falls, Bald Cap Ledges and Dream Lake. Stunning! The views headed down Woket with view of the Tridents is also extremely beautiful. A highlight of the day. There was plenty of water on the trail, although a little tanan-ee, except for the stream near Trident col camp, that was delicious. It was very hot with lots of bugs, which made the second half kind of a slog. Especially all the road walking at the end. I'd prefer Centennial next time, which could be made into a loop without a car drop with minimal road walk. |
