 | Comments: |
Decided to take the path less traveled. 3 miles of road walk keep most off of this trail. Very nice trail. Easy on the feet, not that eroded in the steeps, shaded, two nice outlooks. Very enjoyable and I like a warm up and cool down so the road was perfect. Lots of damage from Irene on the road for a couple of hundred yards then just a walk. Highly recommend this trail if you need Moose. |
