 | Comments: |
Was looking for a relatively short hike on my way to Jamaica (VT) for the West River dam release for the fall - woo hoo so much paddling fun - anywho, very nice loop trail and interesting rocks near summit. Summit was wooded with a shed nearby. Some downviews into valley below from the ledges but not a lot of views with leaves still on trees. Not too many reds yet for fall colors. |
