 | Comments: |
End-to-end traverse of the Wapack Trail. Overall, trail was in pretty good shape. Not nearly as muddy as I expected, even in the areas that are prone to it.
Absolutely no need for traction of any kind. If you're tired of postholing to your crotch, or you just want to put your trail runners back on, it's Southern New Hampshire Hiking Season. |
