 | Comments: |
A very scenic hike. Didn't see anybody. Hiked up to Bear Pit, then turned around. Coosauk and Stairs Fall had some ice on them. Not too much snow all the way to the jct. with Kelton Trail, but a bit higher up, there was significant snow interspersed with drier sections. Despite the snow (and ice), we barebooted the whole way.(The dry sections are annoying with spikes). A nice shorter hike with great scenery. |
