We started out to hike the Royce trail in the White Mountain Natl Forest todaysouth of Gilead, ME, but the first river crossing was a little tougher than we wanted to tackle. So we went across the road and hiked the Bickford Brook trail instead. It turned out to be a beautiful hike - just enough climbing and a realy pretty bit of white water at the top. This is a view looking down the Bickford Slides. If you follow the trail down by the brook, you can get a close up view of that really narrow slot to the right of Tom. The brook keeps tumbling downhill for at least 1/4 mile. We are looking forward to getting back up and doing some more exploring in the area.BTW, the head gear may look funny, but it helps keep away the gnats, mosquitos and black flies!
