Comments
Comments: Beautiful day on beautiful mountains! Grand panoramic vista on Speckled Mountain and from the open ledges all along the hike (and more ledges that are just a short bushwhack off the trial). Gorgeous forest, nice to be in a Wilderness area that actually has a wilderness feel to it! We met two people on the trail, they had come up from the north end of Miles Notch Trail and a young family out for a stroll on the Evergreen Link that were guests of the Inn.
