Trail Conditions: AT and Bemis Stream Trail (aka, Bemis Valley Trail) in good shape. AT has received extensive trail work since I was up there in June. Many thanks to the trail crew(s).
Special Equipment required:
Comments: 'Twas a generally clear, windy, late summer day - perfect for hiking! Lots of views and blues (blueberries, that is). Bemis Stream Trail was a joy to descend. It has extremely attractive woods and nice duff for comfy walking. Got up close and personal with a pretty good size bull moose on the Bemis Stream Trail
. I reacted with a big whoah (like Keanu Reeves). The moose looked at me for 10 seconds then thankfully headed away. Glad it's not quite the rutting season! I have run into more moose hiking this year, than in all my other years of hiking combined.
The last part of the descent was done on log roads that go over a bridge a couple miles down the Bemis Stream Trail, just to shorten the hike a bit.
All in all, a very fun hike!
Marty
