 | Comments: |
Trails were dry with some leaf cover. The summit of Gunstock was busy with tourists taking the lift up. Ski trails are mowed and make for a nice alternative to the Ridge Trail heading over to Rowe. Some loose footing heading down the service road from Rowe.
Sunny and warm this morning with nice views. Leaves have changed quite a lot in the last few days and are near peak. |
