October 4, 2020May 25, 2020May 25, 2020May 17, 2020First time up this trail was after a 6 month hiking hiatus so the turnaround was at a trail intersection approximately 1 mile into the hike, however, this was a very good moderate hike. The first quarter mile starts off light and transitions to a moderate hike for another 3 quarters of mile. Trail is still well traversed and marked with blue paint with orange circulars. This is not a very wide or heavily trafficked trail as there are no specific parking locations. Off a dirt road, the base of the trail has a small semi-flat area large enough for 3 vehicles.
May 8, 2020This is a great short steeper side of the mountain.
May 6, 2020The hike was on a narrow, lightly marked, trail and included a steady incline to the top through the woods. From the top I was able to see Mt Monadnock and even the white capped top of Mt. Washington was visible in the distance through the trees! The high peak and elevation marker is located next to a cell phone tower which was a bummer.
March 21, 2020this Trail is often hard to follow but at least the trail markers which are orange discs are very prevalent even though the trail itself is not super heavily used.

First to ReviewThe trail is not officially maintained, we got lost when we went, as it is rather hard to follow. The views on the summit aren’t that great, either.
