I came out to finish the part of the Velvet Rocks A.T. trail from Trescott Rd. that I hadn't previously done. This went over Velvet Rocks Hill down to the north end of the Velvet Rocks Shelter Loop trail, which in places is really poorly marked. Also went up the Loop trail to see if there were any views still from the Velvet Rocks knob near the shelter. Nope. I returned by way of the Short Cut trail to E. Wheelock Rd.
