Thank you to Damelsfly for the great directions on her 8/9/14 report.
From the open area on Trio Ponds Road (just before it crosses Number Two Brook), we followed the grassier logging road (left of a gravel one), then beared left at a landing at about 0.3 miles, passed through another landing, then around 0.8 miles, took a right turn (just before another landing) onto an ATV trail. Gaining the ridge, we beared right and eventually found ourselves at the tower.
Snow free and mostly dry with one area of mud at the start of the ATV trail.
Fantastic views from the tower (none from the ground), especially of the Mahoosucs and Presis. |
