Out-and-back to Burton Peak with a side of Berry Pasture Trail today.
These trails fared well from the recent storm but you can see where they've been scoured by flowing water. Everything was pretty dry with only a few tiny spots of ice.
The "berry pasture" is not much of a pasture anymore as the forest is regenerating here with young saplings. There are still some views to Monadnock but no big vistas anymore.
A chilly day on the ridge but it didn't seem as windy as originally forecast. |
