Smart's Brook trail, Sandwich Mountain trail, Downe's Brook Trail
Awesome trip today in the Sandwich wilderness. The snow is slowly receding. We only ran into significant snow after the junction of Smarts Brook and Sandwich Mountain Trail. Definitely needed microspikes. Other than that was a nice 9.8 mile walk in the woods. Watch out for out of staters! |
