wow..arrived at 815 to find an amazing amount of cars but i set off quickly and kept ahead of large groups and passed everyone else. reroutes that have been flagged the last couple of years now cut and are the official route. a little extra elevation gain but avoids some washed out areas by the brook. climb to A steep in places but really a well constructed trail and no issue. Did not sign up for a flag peak this year but happy to have one with me as mine was the only flag on A today. steady stream of hikers..many who had come up from glen ellis and were muttering to themselves. hung at the summit for a couple of hours with makeshift flag. nice to see hiker ed guy and crew as well as wildcat and Frank…good day out!!! |
