  • The Stoney Brook Trail has a few bridges early on. This is the second one
  • The trail follows the river for a while and is pretty easy to start
  • Looking up the river
  • Looking down the river at a rocky section
  • The hardest of the river crossings as they all get smaller as you continue up. Today it was an easy hop from rock to rock
  • Just down stream of the crossing was a large pool in the river
  • A tree just above the crossing recent had a limb break
  • The trail seems to follow an old woods road in many places lower on the mountain
  • A nice wide and smooth path makes for an easier hike
  • This is one of multiple brook crossings higher up. Water levels were low today
  • Looking up the brook bed
  • A small patch of large jumbled rocks in the trail that you must go over
  • Another small brook crossing. It appears most people go to the left when the trail actually crosses on the large open area of rock
  • Easy today, but this part of the crossing looks like the moss could get very slippery when water is higher and it gets wet. Hence why many cross to the left over better rocks
  • The trail gets a little steeper and rockier before gaining the ridge
  • Up on the ridge, the trail intersects with the Carter-Moriah Trail
  • The first view point looking to the east
  • Looking southeast towards the Baldfaces
  • Looking up the ridge at a steep area
