 | Comments: |
From the start of the Plymouth Mountain Tr., I took the road headed south. I walked this for a short distance and then bushwhacked up to the west peak. I followed the northeast ridge to the Plymouth mountain tr. and took it to the summit. I explored various spurs higher up on the mountain.
Snowshoes helped on trail and were important on the bushwhack. Snow depths are low. Sutherland trail is well-traveled, but I saw no evidence of recent travel on Plymouth Mountain. West peak highpoint is recognized and I was able to replace the missing parts at the recognized summit. |
