 | Comments: |
An easy hike to a great summit with 365 degree views. Nice clear skies made for a great hike. SPruce Hill - a little mud here and there but otherwise no problems. Bickford brook dry with a little wet rock on the last approach to the summit. Met a few out enjoying the trails today though not really crowded so lots of peace and quiet today. |
