Great hike. We picked 5 pints of blueberries. They are abundant. If they are picked over, go on yellow trail a bit. Tons there. Orange trail was direct and in in good shape. Yellow trail meanders on open ledges with great views. Lower yellow trail becomes a grassy path on an old road with few markings. It has very tall grass and was buggy. We took Connector Trail back to the lower orange trail to escape the bugs. If you do the yellow trail in the AM, you would get soaked from the dew on the tall grass. Views were amazing today! |
