This is a nice 12 mile loop. We did Zeacliff first and hit Thoreau Falls afterward. The only drawback is that it requires descending Zeacliff Trail which is probably better going the other way. Another fabulous day to be in the mountains. Tons of people out there today, but I’d guess 80% of them were long-distance folks. Lots of people doing the AT, of course.
