 | Comments: |
Cadillac West Face Trail was rugged and had a few areas of wet ledge (including a wet scramble). Had considered this as a potential sunrise/sunset route in the past, but am glad I didn't due to the rugged nature of it. Had it and the ridge trail to myself in the first part of the morning.
Cadillac South Ridge Trail was a joy to descend.
Canon Brook Trail is also rugged in some areas, but also has a lot of stone steps. In the vicinity of the low point/a beaver marsh, it becomes the Jordan Ponds Path. Also at this juncture, there is a carriage road almost immediately above the trail for some time, with a herd path to get up to that superior footing.
Pemetic East Cliff Trail was a little bit rugged in places, but not as much so as the Cadillac West Face Trail.
Pemetic South Ridge Trail was also nice and open.
Pemetic North Ridge Trail is also a bit rugged with a few scrambles and very little advanced trail work done yet, but volunteers were out on this day doing some brushing. |
