After hiking Pulpit Brook Trail I drove around to this trailhead and did some meandering and trail checking. All of these trails were mostly dry with some minor areas of mud and water. Some of the steep sections in the gorge take some care due to slippery rock.
I'd never hiked the entirety of Ravine Trail before and it's quite an interesting and rugged route. Downstream from the main gorge where everyone goes are more waterfalls and cascades, all of which were flowing well today. Pulpit Brook is currently looking healthy.
Good to see a large group of well-mannered Boy Scouts out there. Looks like they were really enjoying it. |
