Miles Notch had some overgrown sections, with raspberry bushes that tore up our legs. Quite a few blowdowns through-out the hike, ranging from small to very large. Wouldn't hurt to have a sign coming DOWN Great Brook trail where the road splits (and you have to take the right/high road) |

 | Comments: |
Great 15 mile loop. Amazing view from cliffs just before Red Rock, not a place to trip and fall! Beautiful stretches of trail, mixed with overgrown sections made for a nice variety today. Saw a mink, some partridge and some impressive orange fungi on a downed tree! |
