 | Comments: |
Piper Mtn. (Middleton); Beauty Knob
The SPNHF has been busy, to good effect. My find of the day was the Beauty Ledge Trail, off North Road, which passes the wooded summit of Beauty Knob (which appears on my Topo as "x1216", 22 feet lower than the elevation stated on the new summit sign), to Beauty Ledge, which is a higher, better version of the Piper Mtn. ledges. |
