 | Comments: |
Lower Bickford Brook Trail and Bickford Slides Loop both mostly dry and in good shape. Blueberry Ridge Trail steeps had some wet ledge and some black ice. Upper portion of Bickford Brook Trail had black and blue ice on it, but didn't seem like enough to warrant light traction.
Bellwort, purple violets, and trailing arbutus in bloom. |
