I have finally worked on a trip report for an old trip I took back in 1979 to Baxter State Park. My notes are old and memories faded but my photos bring a nostalgic touch to a great trip that I thought I'd share with all.

I have a copy of the book "Trails and Summits of the Green Mountains" by Walter Collins O'Kane, copyright 1926. In it there are several paragraphs about the exhilarating descent/ascent on the south side of Burnt Rock Mountain. I was wondering if this same route is still utilized today or has it...
