 | Comments: |
Did loop starting on AT at the Bemis Track. Took AT over Bemis peaks to a mile past main summit and descended Bemis Stream Trail. Did another crossing of Bemis Stream and a short bushwhack to a log road to save some time. Nice loop with occasional views. Bemis Stream trail is very wild, but was very buggy! |
