The Hellgate Brook crossing on the Franconia Brook Trail was rock-hoppable, Redrock Brook crossing on Franconia Brook Trail was rock-hoppable. Lincoln Brook Crossing (on eastern-most crossing coming from the Franconia Brook Trail) was rock-hoppable when I crossed, west-bound, BUT, when I crossed back again, I fell in... oh well. |

Spent an overnight in the Pemi Wilderness - always fun!!!!! Biked the Lincoln Woods Trail to the wilderness boundary and locked my bike - quite a few bikes locked at wilderness boundary!!!! From there, I hiked up the Franconia Brook Trail to Redrock Brook, crossed it, and bushwhacked up the stream to an AWESOME camping spot - and there are many great, legal camping spots in there - YAY!!!!! Could see the shoulder of Owl's Head through the trees - YAY!
Next day I headed back south to the Lincoln Brook Trail junction and took the Lincoln Brook Trail around the bottom of Owl's Head to the second crossing of Lincoln Brook which looked crossable, but, I didn't cross. From there I turned around, headed back to Franconia Brook Trail to my bike to return.
Very fun time! |
