More trail work


I went out today to maintain the section of the Escarpment trail I adopted in the Spring. Parked at the trailhead on NY Route 23 and started out. I brought a small rake so I could clean out the diversion channels (waterbars). There was not much else to do. Cut a few downed limbs out of the way and snipped some low shrubs and branches. I continued past the lean-to (the end of my section) to the summit. It was a warm, sunny, blue-sky day. Quite a few other people on the trail (and dogs). This marks the third time I have climbed Windham this year.
Summit Elevation: Windham 3524 ft
Round-trip Distance: 6.4 mi
Elevation Change: 1740 ft
