 | Comments: |
The Boulder Loop Trail took less time than I expected, so I drove over to Rocky Gorge to do this loop as well. Conditions were pretty much the same - micro-spikes were fine, snowshoes would also have been fine. Plenty of other people around enjoying Rocky Gorge.
Side notes: trailheads for Rail and River Trail and Pine Bend Brook Trail were not plowed. Trailheads for Oliverian Brook Trail, Downes Brook/UNH Trails, and Sabbaday Brook Trail were plowed. |
