One double blowdown maybe .4 miles up the Welch side of the loop, largest cut necessary about 6" diameter. Dickey side could use some more trail markings in the entrances/exits (some folks lost up there this afternoon...also my first time going this direction and found myself making a few wrong turns). |

 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry, though there were some wet ledges, especially on the Dickey side. Blueberries long gone.
First time jogging this loop clockwise...ascent is much easier, but the descent was quite rough due to the steepness of the ledges on the east sides of Dickey and Welch.
Sunny afternoon in the Lakes Region, but mostly cloudy on Welch Dickey with a sprinkle of rain. |
