"Beautiful day for a short romp on the South Taconic and Mt. Frissell trails. An easy whack off of Mt Frissell to visit Mt Ashley. The mountain laurel was a bit scratchy on bare legs and surprisingly found numerous piles of moose droppings. To finish my day I headed over to the mighty Old Croken in the Drowned Land Swamp Conservation Area. The summit trail is basically an old road that provides a nice punchy climb to a bench for your viewing pleasure of the Harlem Valley and Taconic ridge. A short walk in the woods brings you to the summit pole. Spotted my first wild columbine of the season in full bloom." — Nimblefoot • May 11, 2021
"Steep, but very short. Enjoyed views from the end of the trail, then walked up into the woods to the true summit with its moonshiners' flagpole. Saw first of the season black-eyed susans and all the tree varieties that Frank identified.
Joan stopped short of the summit, descended to the bench near the trailhead, but we enjoyed the one at the top end of the trail." — barbaratraver • Jun 28, 2014
