Excellent first time hike to Mt Paugus. Kelly Trail is very interesting with many water features and box canyon. Views for days on the ledges of Paugus. This is 50 or 51 of the 52wav. Have to check the records. Plenty of water sources on Kelly and Lawrence Trail running nice and cold.saw what i think was my first scarlet tanger drinking from the stream. |
