 | Comments: |
At the Mt. Martha summit, there is a sign indicating "Martha's Mile Trail", but none indicating Cherry Mtn. Trail. It would be helpful to add one.
Essentially all the deciduous trees have lost their leaves. There was frost on the moss at higher elevations, but no ice or snow on the trails. |
