Comments
Comments: Peabody Brook Trail is beautiful! This loops was a nice mix of falls, lakes, alpine veg, aircraft history and views. Saw 10 people around the Success summit area. Other than that there 3 others.

There are other options that what is in Fanconia Notch, off the Kanc, and at Appalachia. Great to read everyone's creative and unique hikes on this forum.
