 | Comments: |
Did the 17-mile out-and-back up the Machinery Access Road, Tote Road and Timberline ski trails up to Sugarloaf, then AT South to Spaulding spur and over to Abraham via the Mount Abraham Trail, which is a tough and rugged 1.7 miles. Abraham is the best of these peaks as it is a mini-North Prezi peak with 360-degree views and rocky summit. |
