 | Comments: |
Fun little exploration of alternative routes to Welton Falls while avoiding private property along the way. There are still remnants of the old trail but you need to stay on state forest property. Snow deepened the closer I got to the falls which were really running. VERY pretty. Totaled about 5 miles for all the back-and-forths and trying to find crossings. |
