 | Comments: |
I did a loop up Beaver Brook and down Benton, walking another 5 miles along Rte 112 to get back to my car. Beaver Brook is a hard slog but spectacular. It was a little wet, with leaves down, but I always felt I could find safe footing. I was the only person on Benton Trail and there were stretches where the trail was so covered with leaves I was happy to have my Alltrails GPX map. It's a nice trail. |
