 | Comments: |
Trails mostly dry. Full leaf cover. Novice hikers should be cautious on Bee Line Trail and Old Paugus Trail to stay on the path. Leaves and unmarked trails could be difficult to unseasoned travelers. Caution to all coming down old Paugus Rockslide with leaves. Hard to tell where loose scree and stone is. Overall great hike. Bee Line and Old Paugus Trails make you work but so worth the views. |
