 | Comments: |
Once through the narrow path through tall grass next to the fields and into woods, the trail has good footing (meaning less than normal rocks and roots) until about 3500’ when it gets more rocky. Between the multiple brooks and running water on Glencliff you’ll get your footwear wet on this hike. On the upside, plenty of water to filter! There were a couple large patches of significant mud on the Carriage Road. Spur to South Peak starts out flat then a brief boulder climb to get to summit. No views today. Totally socked in although it looked like it cleared somewhat by the time I was down. About 99.99% humidity which made slow going for me and added to the dampness of everything. Ran into a couple NOBO hikers at the summit and a SOBO hiker when I was cooling off in Oliverian Brook at the Town Line Trail which I stopped at on my way out just a bit west on 25 with a large parking area. |
