 | Comments: |
We had a great time though as the trail is easy to follow for all but a few very small sections. I would go this way again because it avoids the rock scramble at the top of the Blueberry Ledge Trail. The five of us broke trail the whole way, and still beat a very large group to the summit of Whiteface that was departing the Ferncroft parking as we were spotting a car there and heading for Whiteface Intervale parking. |
