 | Comments: |
Some more exploration and data gathering as the trail system here nears completion.
While there is no view at the summit of Birch Ridge, there are some interesting views coming down the more open NW side of Birch Ridge Trail, including one all the way out to Carter Notch in the Whites.
The forest here continues to slowly recover from the extensive logging that occurred before SELT acquired the property. |
