| Comments: |
Great place, 35 minutes from home. Lots of diversity; the paved areas were packed (think Franconia on Columbus day) but only a few minutes into the woods it is quiet, think Evan's Notcj midweek😀 (other than the traffic on Rt 1). Nice ups and downs, actual climbing on rocks, good views. Took the paved road back to the car. .
