| Comments: |
Out and back from Glen Ellis; believe the first time I've done this. As the WMG states this hike demands much more than the numbers and distance indicate. Slow going but great views across notch all day. Quiet compared to across Rte 16 with approximately 25 day hikers met as well as 25 NOBO ers. Most enjoying another nice day in the mountains. |
