Good, strategically placed blazes. Thank you!
One question. Is there a reason none of these small mtns have signs?
We were going to try for Mt. Landon, but due to time, stopped at the last Crippie. No way in hell would anyone make book time, unless they hate blueberries. Lots of ripe ones in the higher, sunny elevations.
Great hike, but there are a few areas where the gravelly surface makes it so easy to slip. Be careful. Beautiful views frequently. Some people may not like the constant up and down, but they're several small mtns, so what are you going to do? I actually liked this, because after last week's fiasco, it was reassuring to know I can keep up. |
