Comments
Comments: No problems going through the box canyon, these streams run off very quick.

Minimal blazes through the wilderness as it should be.

Our third trip to Paugus and one of our favorite trips. The trails and the area are just amazing, it's quiet, and rich with history. The summit ledges of Paugus are a worthy destination and a fabulous place to chill out and listen to nature. This marks #13 for Shays third round of the 52wav list, he had a bum leg last two weeks, so we took a small break from hiking to rest it. Happy to report the Boy Wonder is back and did a fine running decent from the pass down to Ferncroft. WE will come back for Hibbard another favorite, later this winter.
