Admittedly I hike just as an excuse to clear trails these days. This trip to the Sawyer Pond trail was no exception. Plus I need to get ready for the Dry River trail. Maybe it was the construction but I only saw a group of three people on the trail this day
Passing through the Kanc construction, I made it to the trailhead and a nice cold crossing of the swift.
Trail is lined with lovely meadowsweet right at the start.
I saw this on a recent trip report up to Mt. Tremont. I cleared out two of these pines of similar size - maybe 2 ft. These were tough to get through even though they are pine - lots of knots. The root ball rose back up after the tree was cleared (as you can see in the last picture).
Was followed by a group of ravens for part of the trip. Very curious fellows .
All and all, I cleared 15 from the trail. A USFS crew will be coming around soon to remove some larger chainsaw-worthy step overs. This is probably of minimal interest for folks but thought I'd share. thanks for looking.
