Itinerary description

Show original
We managed to make the most of route 6 of the Apalachian Trail because we had to reverse the march on Sunfish Pond and go back to the beginning for lack of a ride, when we arrived at 6:30 it was already a sea of ​​people for the transport cars, we were without a car for the return, which was only 23km on foot ..., with more 21Km of the course ..., gave a value that made us give up doing so because of 34ºC !!!! After well studied the route Alternate, there we enter, Maka and Zangas, in the territory of grizzly bears, yes bears! The initial climb is strong but it does well and even the first crossing of rails is always to climb ..., then the summit is taken and is always right up to Sunfish Pond the famous lake where only a quality of fish is created due to an acid that the water contains. On the way up, we had to give way-who could not give a rattle-rattlesnake about five feet long, a magnificent animal!
Arriving at the lake we rested a little and left the Apalachian trail and entered the unknown ..., a trail that I had taken from the map of the area. With some changes of direction, because it was very closed, we were able to catch the valley where it passes the brook of Dunnfield Creek. After we followed the trail almost there, we turned left and climbed Mount Tammany, where we had a bear alert from a group that came down, but we decided to continue and it went well.
It was a magnificent trail for the beauty of the forest and its animals, 20.2 km of pure pleasure to walk on the mountain.
It was very hot at 34ºC, but as we started early, we took advantage of the morning breeze.
Most of the route is made under huge trees with a canopy that cast shadow for the trail.
