It's easy to get into a nice hiking rhythm on these trails; it's the best part of hiking these peaks. I can't believe I used to lament the long approach to the loop trails. The open hardwoods in the sun are really nice. There is very little ice, and it was solid and welcome on the mud pits. The trails are fast; there is no need for traction. I expected to see more hikers given the great weather, but maybe they were all doing the Presi peaks. |
