The Welch Dickey Loop Trail on the way Welch Mountain
Route: Welch-Dickey Loop Trail, (Welch Mountain), Welch-Dickey Loop Trail, (Dickey Mountain), Welch-Dickey Loop Trail
Trails and ledges were generally dry, though some rocks on the Welch side were moist/slippery. Leaves starting to accumulate on the Dickey side, making for slippery going in places. Foliage is past peak, but there were still some nice colors in places.
