 | Comments: |
Lots of good work/maintenance has been done on these trails, kudos and many thanks to the volunteers who work hard to maintain them. Other than an expectedly crowded Gunstock summit (opening weekend for lift service and ziplining) and a few folks having lunch at the Belknap Fire Tower, I only encountered 2 or 3 other people on the trails. |
