| Comments: |
We chose Gorge Brook trail and saw only four people on the trail, a handful on the summit. After reading the post from Earl, who claims to have seen 97 people on Glen Cliff, I'd say we chose WISELY! :-)
Gorge Brook packed to summit. I Barefooted the whole way with no difficulty. MichaelJ wore microspikes. Snow packed and deep enough to cover the rocks. About six more inches and snowshoes will make for fine winter trails.
Summit wind 20-25 with limited visibility above treeline |
