Some trail work is being done on the Blueberry Ledge trail to add a new staircase. It looks nice! All the trails were bone dry and in good shape. A few blowdowns on Rollins ond Dicey's Mill, all easily stepped over of ducked under. Some of the stepovers look like they have been there a while.
The morning was warm and sticky. I was glad to get to the Rollins Trail where the elevation made it a bit cooler. By the time I was heading down the Dicey's Mill it was getting hot! I consumed a full 3 liters of water on the loop.
Of course a hike on Whiteface/Passaconaway isn't complete without a stop at the Sandwich Creamery for an ice cream, especially today. |
