 | Comments: |
Big loop today from Tunnel Brook to Benton Trail then followed the AT down to Long Pond Rd taking Tunnel Brook Trail all the way back to parking.
The Benton Trail was fantastic. The climb is a nice steady slope and is in great condition! Didn't see a soul until the AT portion making one.
Also did Tunnel Brook end to end. Another winner of a trail! Beautiful ponds and views. I did spot one cluster of bittersweet, hopefully it struggles to take over. I just didn't have the energy to pull invasives today. |
