 | Comments: |
Beautiful day for a hike! A few trails are very overgrown with grass, ferns, and bushes (coming down Rand and on Dave Roberts Quarry Trail here and there). The typical muddy spots are still very muddy and wet but easy to get around or hop through on rocks/logs. Did many, many tick checks and only had one the entire 11-mile hike (using the appropriate repellent works). Overall, another great hike in the Belknaps. |
