 | Comments: |
Plan of later start and these trails worked well for quiet day. A few hikers at summit. No one met on way down; only seen distantly. First time on Pine Link. Fairly nice trail as compared to other Northern Pressie trails. Dry trails today; I could see them being unpleasant when wet. |
