 | Comments: |
Last day of vacation had to get somewhere nice. This loop always does the trick. Trails fine except for first 0.2 miles. On a bright note the waterfalls were as pretty as I've ever seen them (just the right amount of flow). Still a little running water on FWT. Roughed up the trail minorly. Another gorgeous day on Franconia Ridge with the hardest part leaving the ridge towards the end of the day. |
