Family hike!
It's such a great, easy hike, with a beautiful payoff for the entire length of trail...
To keep things easy & accessible for everyone, we did a carspot and just hiked downhill the whole way. Typically one would loop back on Shannon Brook trail, but there is a steep section in there that concerned me for certain family members. We could have done a 180 and made Brook Walk an out & back (and enjoyed the waterfalls twice!), but then there was distance and time to be concerned about. And so, we carspotted. And it worked out perfectly.
I do have one slight regret, which I often do in these situations... even though it's not part of any challenge, I look at how much elevation gain I could have gotten if only we'd hiked in the other direction! 😂
But no matter... let's just enjoy the sights.
Nice view right from the hiker parking lot! |
