 | Comments: |
Our original plan for a Mt. Mansfield hike was thwarted by conditions of zero visibility and thunderstorms on the way. Our consolation prize was this nice, short (+/- 1 mile RT), swim-worthy, geologically interesting hike find. It would also be a great place to cool off after an east side of Mansfield hike. |
