 | Comments: |
Algonquin Trail was quite spectacular. Soft underfoot in the trees, challenging and picturesque on the ledges. This route would probably be used more if it wasn't for the 3.6-mile drive to the trailhead from Waterville on rough Sandwich Notch Road. But highly recommended. Great views south and west. |
