Hints of fall on the way to Welch Mountain
Route: Welch-Dickey Loop Trail, (Welch Mountain), Welch-Dickey Loop Trail, (Dickey Mountain), Welch-Dickey Loop Trail
Lower elevations on Welch side were muddy from recent heavy rain. Lots of wet ledge on the loop, but not an issue with reasonably grippy shoes. Minimal blueberries on the loop, but I suspect some could be found near the back ledges. Nice weather today.
