 | Comments: |
I expect the waterfalls route (up Peabody and down Dryad will be popular given a recent Boston Globe Article.I would be hard pressed to recommend the loop we did via the AT to Gentian Pond until things dry out on the AT and they go win with chainsaws to clear out the blowdowns. Dryad Falls is definitely rain dependent. It rain until this AM and the flow was steady but not spectacular. |
