Newts in a Mountain Pool
August 17, 2017
Not long into our hike, we came across a wetland - a mucky system of stick and earth dams, conspicuously created by beavers at some point, probably long ago.
Sections of bridge and boardwalk, kept us out of the wettest parts of the trail, and below one of the bridges, along the bank, we came across an extended family of newts.
Seen along the Hurricane Mountain Trail: a 7-mile round-trip hike (11.25 km), starting from the Route 9N Trailhead, and ending at the fire tower summit, with a 2000 foot ascent (610 meters).
