 | Comments: |
A nice loop this afternoon after a meeting in Plymouth. Despite temps in the 50s, the woods were cooler and both trails were still rock-solid. I carried spikes but ended up barebooting round-trip; snowshoes were definitely not needed today.
The falls are still mostly frozen but becoming less so with this warm-up. The walk to the falls is flat but Newton Trail provides numerous ups and downs to the the heart rate up a bit. |
