 | Comments: |
No snow or ice on the Baldface Circle Trail nor the Slippery Brook Trail. Only 3 small patches of snow on the Eastman Mountain Trail. These patches were at most, 3 feet by 1 foot. Easily crossed without traction. The trails had some mud that often had rocks to keep the boots out of the muck. It appeared that most of the mud was not deep. There were many moose deposits on the Eastman Trail. Easy to avoid stepping into the droppings. I did not see the moose.
There are some views from the hardwood forest that will disappear in a few weeks. Saw a few yellow violets in bloom on the Slippery Brook Trail and a Trillium with all white petals (no violet color) off the Baldface Circle Trail. Stopped down to Emerald Pool to see the green colored water and the water flowing through the cleft in the rock above the pool.
Great views from the summit that is marked by a large cairn. |
