Great memories of Holcomb Valley scout reservation as a young boy scout
We had planned to camp out along the trail this weekend but the snow we were anticipating was way more than expected so we pulled in for the night. Spots are easy access and roomy. There were a few others who were crazy enough to camp out in the 7°f temps this weekend. Would love to go back when there’s no snow.
Hi Jennifer,
Way to go on your Holcomb Valley adventure. It is beautiful up there in the snow too.
Hi Jennifer,
Way to go on your Holcomb Valley adventure. It is beautiful up there in the snow too. Just a bit tougher to get to the camp. Glad you had fun!
