 | Comments: |
Great point to point from Kinsman Mountain trailhead to Reel Brook Trailhead. As one hiker said, the descent down South Kinsman on the AT is “spicy” at this point due to water. Trails are in decent shape considering the summer weather. The hike is what you make of it. Reel Brook is a great trail that is lightly used. |
