Lots of water on the trails today following yesterday's rain. Some pooled water on Zealand Trail and running water on Twinway, as well as a few floating bog bridges.
Busy day on the trails with thru hikers in both directions. A few maple trees are showing vivid reds. Noticing some birch starting to show a yellow tint. |
