 | Comments: |
Another beautiful day for a hike. Had 3 bears drop out of a beech tree about 40 feet away from me on the East Guilford trail. Momma and 2 large cubs. Dug out the bear bell after that! Plenty of other hikers between Belknap tower and Gunstock but didn't see anyone else on Overlook and East Guilford. |
