 | Comments: |
A great counter clockwise loop from Old Clough Road. The trails were in great shape. Some pockets here and there of slippery leaves. The day started with frozen mud and the seeps on ledges were frozen. By mid day things were starting to melt. Watch for black ice on the ledges and wet areas. |
