Just bring a chainsaw…. Starts at about a mile up (where the old road leads to the read road) honestly could say maybe 15 downed trees across the trail minimum. The AT needs some brushing done and also some clearing of new trees down but more brushing than anything up there. |

I knew if I didn’t get out today I was leaving a chance my grid would end on Moriah next May… so I figured I had to try and see if the rain held back. I talked Ann into coming thankfully so I had some good company. Stoney brook is such a pretty trail and way less used! It was raining when we left, and thankfully the trees kept us mostly dry. We started in rain jackets but pretty soon I was in my shortsleeve shirt. We only saw 2 backpackers coming down and 2 up on the ridge. The rain stopped just after 10 and we hit the AT around 11ish when it started back up. It was a little windy on the slabs which thankfully made them stay dry going up. It started actually raining right before the summit, which the summit almost blew us off! We quickly went down and kept the rainjackets on for the rest of the trip down. The slabs were a little slow going down with them now being wet but we made it safely. We made quick time on stoney brook after a brownie and a cookie and before we knew it we were back to the lot! Only 1 peak left for the grid and thankfully in a few months! |
