 | Comments: |
skylight pond trail in excellent shape and dry as it switchbacks up to the ridge. long trail also quite dry. spur to breadloaf summit well marked and continues on to a ledge with a limited views. got a nice early start on this one as i had plans for another hike in the afternoon. this worked out well as temps were cool all the way in the mostly shaded woods. high point of wilson seems to be on the north end of the first bump you come to ascending from emily proctor shelter. there was a tiny cairn at this point which matched the one found on the highpoint of breadloaf. the second bump on wilson has a side path with limited views back to the other highpoint, breadloaf and to the south and east. dropped down to skylight pond which was quite pretty with all its lily pads and tadpoles swimming about. skylight pond trail is a real nice walk. great morning |
