 | Comments: |
Precipice Trail is closed for Falcon pre-season training or something. Doubt they'll win the Super Bowl anyway.
Beehive Trail was a lot of fun - steep steps, iron ladder rungs, narrow shelves, etc. Not a good trail for those who have issues with heights/exposure, but otherwise it wasn't too bad technically due to the rungs, etc.
Champlain South Ridge Trail was a beautiful quasi-alpine ridge walk. Champlain summit was fairly quiet, probably in part due to the Precipice Trail being closed.
Gorham Mountain Trail was a bit mucky. Summit of Gorham was overrun by a school group. |
