Day One of Wapack thru hike. Left my car at the (very busy) Watatic Parking lot at about 12:30 and was dropped off at the Wapack Northern Terminus on Mountain Road at around 1PM. Absolutely fantastic trail conditions with just a couple downed trees that were easy to navigate around. Trail incredibly well marked with yellow triangles on the trees, rocks, signs, everywhere I looked. Small state park store on the summit of Pack Monadnock where you can buy ice cream, souvenirs, and also resupply water for free. Please pay the $4 state park fee there to continue to support these beautiful trails! Saw 14 day hikers and 8 dogs across N. Pack Monadnock, Miller State Park and Temple Mountain. Quiet trail afterwards. One potential water source of a stream between the Sharon Ledges Trailhead and 124 but also where the mosquitos were out in full force. Spent the night at a rented shelter at Windblown. |
