Date of Hike: 4/21/13
Trail Conditions: Dry down low, with green vegetation just beginning to come up, some wet/muddy spots on the South taconic, absolutely no water crossing to be concerned about
Special Equipment Required: Smile muscles and hiking poles for going down the Robert Brook Trail due to the lack of usage, thick carpet of leaves, and steepness.
Comments:
*Much easier access up the west face of the taconic ridge than other western trailheads, no scrambing
*There is parking, even though its not on the NY-NJ Appalachian Trail Conference Topo
*Huge NY/MA property markers, like the one at the NY/CT/MA border are on Robert Brook.
*The Western exposure is great for Afternoon and Evening hikes on sunny days
*Old stone fences way up at 1800'
