| Comments: |
Trails were snow free and mostly dry. A few areas of minor mud on the snowmobile corridor.
Precipice Path (west branch) was a very interesting trail with a rock slide, small water fall, and lots of walking near cliffs. Footbed not overly obvious in a lot of places, so one has to keep their eye out for the red blazes and flagging tape.
I forgot that I needed to go a decent distance down the Blue Trail southwest of Mt. Anna, so I didn't get any views from that peak (just a slight view from near the top of the Anna-Goat Trail). |
