 | Comments: |
Had a nice morning hike out past Roaring brook which had good volume. Views from the upper sections of granite ledge were excellent to the east. Trail is fairly eroded in many spots making footing a bit tricky. Saw several orchids/lady's slippers, and the mountain laurel is about a week from full bloom which will be spectacular here. |
