Hiking the Stone Valley Trail

We had a great hike today along part of the Stone Valley Trail along the Raquette River. We picked up the trail off Main St. in Colton and walked down the east side of the river. Last Tuesday's storm caused major destruction in the area. The beginning of the trail was blocked with several massive trees and further along the trail we encountered many areas where we had to bushwack around the blowdown. We finally stopped about a mile in when we got tired of dodging downed trees. But that mile was spectacular with beautiful views of the river and falls.Thanks to W for letting me use his laptop connected to the cell network to publish this post. Our satellite connectivity is flaky at best. A technician has been called.
