 | Comments: |
Nice hike to the summit through mostly open woods. The lower part at the start had lots of running water on the trail. The upper parts had some soggy bog sections. At the peak of Spruce Hill there was a turtle on the trail. I think it was a "Painted Turtle". It was still there on return, but turned around and further along the trail in its trek. |
