Comments
Comments: Cold Brook Trail was fairly smooth sailing down to Long Pond.


Long Pond Trail was an awesome walk.


Perpendicular Trail was stunning, seeing who knows how many rock steps neatly built, even navigating through talus fields!


Fog has rolled in in advance of forecasted afternoon/evening thunderstorms, so this viewless summit seemed like a good choice. A few potential views within quarter a mile or so of it.


Razorback Trail had a lot of ledges, which suggest it could be scenic.
