 | Comments: |
The trails were in generally good condition. The wet areas on Lend-A-Hand Trail were crossed on bog bridges and rocks.
The trails had lots of Spring flowers except for the Hale Brook Trail which had only a few. Saw Rhodora, Painted Trillium, Lady's Slipper, Clintonia, Bunchberry, Hobblebush, ans Starflower.
Most of the views are limited on this hike except for the great outlook at Zeacliff. |
