 | Comments: |
Both trails were damp, muddy and slippery in spots, but not difficult if negotiated with care on a day after significant rainfall. The middle portion of the Glen Boulder Trail is mostly on exposed broken rock and includes one short scramble that could be challenging, especially if wet; this section is comparable to what one finds at much higher elevations elsewhere in the Presidentials. |
