 | Comments: |
Stony Brook Trail is one of my all-time favorites, but on a warm May day with snow melting and water running down the trail, it can be very tough. Lots of punching through as the monorail was very thin or non-existent in spots. The ledges on Carter-Moriah are clear, but in and out of the woods up to the summit and there's still a decent amount of snow that still has to melt. |
