 | Comments: |
Went clockwise. Descent in this direction was as gnarly and tough as usual, even under mostly dry conditions. No blazes on Old Paugus after first few hundred yards coming down (and barely visible there). Missed junction with Big Rock Cave trail, even though we knew it would be obscure (makes only 0.1 mi longer loop, so no big deal). Lovely woods, very few others, good views; challenging but worthwhile. |
