Comments
Comments: Nice meander through the woods and along Pitcher and Champney Falls. Once we broke tree line care was need to keep my three dogs headed in the right direction. The summit spur from the junction was too much for us however the views were spectacular nonetheless. My 5 y.o pup could have made it but it wasn't worth it for my two older ones.

Liberty and Bee Line had some slippery rocks which we treaded with caution. Grateful for trekking poles on this one.

Bolles Trail is a pine needle pillow and was a nice reprieve from Chocoura's granite. We also didn't see a soul on Bee Line or Bolles.

A lovely day in the forest!
