KML Maps: Dolly Sods Hike on October 28, 2023
About Dolly Sods Hike on October 28, 2023 ....
I had never hiked the back part of Dolly Sods until last week. It was a nice hike, though I forgot about the wet crossing on the Red River and never got up to Appalachian Front or Bears Rocks as I had hoped.
