 | Comments: |
Fun hike, but very muddy and water crossings were tricky after Hurricaine Sandy. Temps were in the 40s on the ground and probably 30s at the top, absolutely no views with the thick clouds and fog. Lots of blowdowns from the storm, but all were able to be hopped over or crawled under.
Trail starts off deceptively easy as the first few miles if very flat, but the real elevation gains come less than a mile from each summit. |
