Comments
Comments: Time to start hitting the trails and summits I have not been to in a long time. Being "off list" is so freeing. :) Hale Brook Trail is in good shape but there are sections that are worn smooth and icy from butt sledding. There's also a very thin section about as wide as a balance beam with a decent drop off. Careful here and use your poles for balance. Summit is viewless and still a great place to have some food and hang out for a while. Enjoy!
