 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry with some areas of avoidable mud and puddles.
All trails listed are pretty well blazed, with blaze colors matching the current belknaprangetrails.org map.
Anna-Old Stage Road Link trailhead on Old Stage Road doesn't have a sign, but is pretty obvious from the road (just east of a bridge; blue blazes visible if you head a few feet up the trail). Anna-Old Stage Road Link (blue blazed trail) provides the only views near Mt. Anna (a ledge a few minutes below the summit with good views south).
Nice loop with generally decent footing, clocking in at about 8.3 miles. |
