This was really the last hike in the snow. It was already late March and most of the snow had melted from the storm the prior week, but here in this deep valley the sun hadn't been able to reach the snow and melt it, so there was plenty around. I do this trail often, so apologize for all of you seeing this hike again, but this is a really pretty area and looks different in every season.
We parked at the Reeves Meadow area, and took the Pine Meadow Trail to the Stony Brook Trail, to the Kakiat Trail, and then to the Cascade of Slid waterfall. We then climbed up the short climb on the Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail to the Halfway Mountain lookout, and then climbed back down, crossed the brook on the washed-out bridge, and then too the Pine Meadow Trail all the way back.
