A walk in the dark to Little Sugarloaf
Route: Elwell Trail, Orange Trail
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. A few minor patches of black ice easily avoided. A slight bit of mud in the low point of the Orange Trail.
Nice sunrise over Newfound Lake from Sugarloaf. Chilly start, but the early morning sun warmed things up as it rose.
