    Gray to Marcy: A Costly Bushwhack Is Closed Definitively

    At high altitude it takes very little traffic to form an herdpath and very little foot traffic to kill a 50 year-old Diapensia or Sandworth. Of course it would be nice to make a loop, go ahead nobody can stop you if you must but pretty please avoid the presently faint herdpath. Yes the sign is...
