Dalton, MA to Mark Noepel shelter - 14.1 miles hiked today - 1585.9 total AT miles hiked to date
Today was a great day for hiking with temperatures in the low 70s, low humidity, and dryer trail conditions. Tomorrow will be more like rain.
Dalton mid-morning, I walked through town, passing a pet pig in a front yard and then back into the woods. The trail meandered past a couple of ponds, up and over Crystal mountain and the Cobbles, a scenic overlook of Cheshire, before descending down into town.
The trail goes right through Cheshire and I stopped at a roadside takeout stand and had an early dinner of a meatball sandwich. From Cheshire the trail leads out of town and starts climbing immediately, gaining 1600 feet by the time I reached the shelter. More climbing is on tap for tomorrow so calling it a night early and getting an early start tomorrow.
Until next time…
