 | Comments: |
A great day to gaze on Monadnock from Pratt's summit The trails were much drier than expected. I returned via the entire length of Frank Binney Trail, and it's a real gem. The beginning and end are well marked, and it's not hard to follow even w few blazes. It alternates between wide former roads w grass or dirt, and sumptuous, knee-high ferns. A bit more elevation gain than Wapack, and slightly longer than Wapack (between beginning and end of FBT). |
