Comments
Comments: All still green here compared to near peak colors 15 miles up river in Wolcott. Long Trail no longer goes across Prospect Rock but is an easy 5 minutes there by spur trail. Long Trail goes route of bypass used during peregrine falcon bans in spring/early summer. Short hike with some elevation gain.
