 | Comments: |
A post-rain leg stretcher at Cogswell. Trails were wet after the morning showers and Red Trail had mud in the usual place near its start. Good views from East Peak as always. Noted what looks like a flagged route leaving East Peak in another direction. Not sure if this is for a future trail or not. |
