Trail Story:
Mt. Tom is my daily companion! This year I logged over 500 miles while redlining every trail and criss crossing the NET almost daily. This year I saw a bear for the first time on the trail and a record year for Pink Lady Slippers and Ghost Pipes. I’ve hiked numerous sections of the NET and can’t wait to complete the entire trail.
