 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry.
Perpendicular Trail is a work of art with hundreds of rock steps spiraling up a field of stone. Great Notch Trail was pretty rugged with some erosion and lots of roots. Long Pond Trail can be a little rugged in places, but the portions along Long Pond are generally gradual and decent walking, providing slightly cooler conditions due to the water and the shade. |
