 | Comments: |
Albany Notch Trail (from the south),
Great views today. Explored the summit a little. Bushwhacked 1/4 mile through open woods to the southwest corner and found another viewpoint although not nearly as good as the other viewpoints on the mountain.
The first mile of this trail after the gate is very muddy but the trail improvements significantly after that. |
