As we started in on the trail you very
quickly saw the devastation to the forest of the recent ice storms.
There were large branches and whole trees down everywhere and you
could lots of places where clearing (with chainsaws) had to be done
to open the trail up. What was
funny was the east side of the mountain seemed to be the worse and
as you neared the top it wasn't as bad.
The foliage here indicates we were
just about a week past the peak of the season which for 2009 wasn't
all that spectacular from what I read. |
