 | Comments: |
We followed the directions found at Northeasthikes.com ("Hike Saddleback Mountain via the Berry Picker's Trail") and they were spot on. The road walk was ok, but once in the woods the trail was great. Deep woods open up onto extensive ledges with great views before another bit in the woods to the AT. |
