Looking up the Bald Knob Cutoff
Route: Shannon Brook Trail, Bald Knob Cutoff, Bald Knob Trail, (Bald Knob), Bald Knob Trail, Bald Knob Cutoff, Shannon Brook Trail
Trails were generally dry, with the exception of minor mud in the normally wet spot in the col before reaching the upper carriage road portion of the hike. Upper carriage road portion (ie Bald Knob Trail) is a little more grassy than I remember in the past. Good views from the summit, amidst the steady rumbling of Harleys.
