 | Comments: |
after a speedy redline hike up Sandwich Mtn Tr (only went as far as junction with Smarts Brook) and down Drakes Brook, i continued my redlining up to Fletcher's Cascades. the trail starts out on the bike/ski trail, but soon bears right into the woods. the first mile, easy grades...it's the last .2 from the lower to the upper cascades that'll get ya. very pretty. i tried to BW up the right side of the upper cascades, just to see what was on top, but i decided that it wasn't my best idea with all the slippery moss covered boulders. thought about crossing the brook and going up from the left side, but chose to relax in a chin deep pool instead. |
