Original plan was Mt. Shaw, but we got there too late. Made a nice walk out of the trails mentioned above. Prema wanted views, someone told us about the spur path off Lower Bridal. Sat next to a few spots that provided a wind break.
Did the Brook Walk next. They have done work on this trail, both for safety and forest regeneration. It's marked very well, so no one has any excuses to go where they're not supposed to. Good info posted at each fall.
LRTC has posted on their website, kiosks, and trail junctions train closure info. So check it out before you have to turn back. Most of it is below the pond.
Good day, we'll be back. Earlier next time. |
