Great little day hike today. Pine Mountain and the Indian Council Caves in Barkhamstead. From Pine Mt., we could make out Monadnock on the furthest horizon, which was pretty cool.
In fact, one can do a 5,000 vertical foot day-hike from the Great Gulf trailhead to the summit of Mt. W. That's tough to find in Colorado. The big climbs are amomg the Cascadian volcanoes.
