the 10 crossing on downes brook were an adventure. the water was just a bit too high. other crossings in other places were fairly tame. |
|

the upper part of downes brook needs lots of attention with multiple situations. walden trail off passaconaway is very rough. all trails had at least a little of what is mentioned above. olliverian brook trail was in the best shape. |

great day to do these two. i did the big loop so as not to redo the 10 crossings on downes brook tr. it was a long and hard 15.5 miles. i was last on these guys 5 years ago and i'm feeling it more. anyway, i now have 32 of the 48 at 70+. in passing the trailhead for owls head & bondcliff, there must have been 100 cars along both sides of the road in both directions! this was at 3pm. the parking lot was full at 5:15 am! |
