Lots of heavy erosion where the trail is not hardened or is not solid ledge. Refreshed blazing and new signs at twists and turns are helpful, thank you! Also noted a new trail sign that seems to suggest that the Dickey Notch Trail name has been resurrected?
Got up at ridiculous o'clock to get up here in time for sunrise, and the light was spectacular. A really beautiful morning today, with cool autumn temps, clear skies, and just a light breeze. The foliage color is still looking good here but is beginning to fade a bit.
When I left Concord, the weather was foggy and wet and I was concerned that the ledges might be slick. Fortunately, everything was completely dry. |
