Comments
Comments: Great day to be out and the trails were in good shape. Unknown Pond was a nice place to take a break. And the Horn offers nearly 360-degree views from the top. Other than that, it's one step at a time. Never overly steep with mostly good footing.

Hot July day with temperatures in the 80s.
