August 14, 1983: The trail turned into a virtual rock climb straight up the face of a cliff to the top of Barrack Mountain. It was a rather sadistic climb for a backpacking trail, but some open ledges near the summit offered great views to the north and to the south — some of the nicest since Shenandoah National Park.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Connecticut #nature #forest #mountains #adventure #trails #AppalachianTrail
