 | Comments: |
Trails were dry with one area of mud about a mile in on Drakes Brook Trail. The Drakes Brook Trail has some great footing down low allowing for good cruising speeds. Once it pulls away from the Brook it gets steeper and ascends to the ridge via switchbacks. Once on the ridge we made short work of getting up the spur trail to Jennings. Nice clear views today all around. Only a couple other people out there today. |
