Came back to explore the old quarry site, millstone, and the swampy area just west of the old quarry. Neat little spot for a super short walk if you just want to check out the old quarry and millstone.

Took a short walk out to the graffiti bridge to find the recent rainfall and snow melt had washed debris and dirt onto the bridge. Most of the graffiti, including the Rick, is now under about an inch of dirt.

Came back to try and reach Upper Miners Falls, but did not realize how difficult it was to get to. Middle Miners Falls seemed good enough for me and my small dog for this trek.

Second trip back to this trail since I missed Jacoby Falls the first time when I stopped at the unnamed waterfall. As the snow melts, the trail becomes even more icy, so ice spikes and trekking poles are smart for end-of-winter hikes here. This trail is very empty during weekday mornings in the winter as well.

Fall Brook Falls Trail

Came back to conquer the traverse upstream to Lower Fall Brook Falls during the winter in the snow; however, I would not recommend anyone but experienced hikers (and dummies) to attempt this hike to the frozen waterfall. Hikers will need, at least, ice spikes and trekking poles, to navigate the very deep and unexpected holes/caveties under the snow and within the rocks and boulders as they hike upstream. There are plenty of places where, if you slip, you can fall several feet or more into freezing creek beds, which can be about 2-feet deep. Super dope spot for the winter though, if you can safely make it up the creek. Hike at your own risk.

Winter hike out to Neslon Falls. Trail is easy to hike with ice spikes. Waterfall did not have much buildup of ice but was still nice to visit. Parking is street-side since the lot is not cleared in the winter.

Attempted to reach the Lower Falls section of the waterfall, but the snow was too deep to trust hiking down and along the creek. I made it to the large boulder that sits alongside Fall Brook before heading back uphill and back to the overlook view of Fall Brook Falls. The recent snowfall was powdery and approximately 6+ inches deep, in addition to the layers of ice and snow beneath. Traversing up Fall Brook under these conditions did not seem smart.

Hiked half-way to Darling Run Falls before turning back. The ice in the creek did not appear to be strong enough to trust hiking upstream all the way to the waterfall. Along the hike upstream I found an old foundation of what I assume used to be a home or camp. This old foundation is located on the north side of Darling Run creek less than 0.1-miles from the Pine Creek Trail. Instead of attempting to reach the waterfall by hiking upstream further, I drove to Copp Hollow Rd in Wellsboro and hiked through the woods and down the narrow spine of a hill to reach a viewpoint of the waterfall.

Hiked the Big A Trail, but skipped out on the western side of the loop. Had a great views of York and Ogunquit to the east along with the White Mountains to the north from various points on the trail.
