 | Comments: |
Trail overall was dry but there were some significant muddy sections on Drakes Brook. Super Sandwich Tuesday! It was nice to have company because this hike was absolutely amazing. Sunny skies with temperatures near 70 and shorts/t-shirt weather all day. Foliage is nearly peak with decent reds, oranges and golds. |
