 | Comments: |
The trails were generally dry with a thick coating of slippery oak leaves. A couple minor muddy spots cover by leaves. The footing on the lower sections of SMT, JV-BP and BPT is pretty rough and being covered in leaves makes footing pretty bad. The footing on Old Stage Road is much better than the other trails. Up high on SMT the footing is much better with lots of ledge to walk on. A nice day to enjoy the Belknaps. |
