Comments
Comments: An enjoyable hike today. The views from the ledge on East were amazing and the woods between East and West were spectacular. The hike from the TH off Rt 113 in Evans Notch was (according to Gaia) 5.8 miles with just over 2400’ of gain. Crossing the top of a beautiful waterfall at the start, led to a cool refreshing dip at the end on a day that just kept getting soupier as it wore on.
