 | Comments: |
Two sections of this loop would be difficult to navigate after the leaves fall: (lightly used, through hardwoods, and no discernible footbed) the lower end of McCrillis Tr, and the section of McCrillis Path parallel to the WMNF boundary.
Fun loop in an uncrowded section of the Sandwich Range. |
