'76 guidebook includes the M-M at least to the NH/MA line so off we went to Little Monadnock. Splendid hike and the jungle of Rhodo-s is fun. We went up the yellow blazed trail, very wet and slippery leaves blanket the trail, nice views all the way up to the ledges before reaching the summit. We took a gamble and headed down the M-M south figuring we could bail on the Old Troy Road and then do a road walk. We were happy to find the Fitzwilliam Hiking Trail System and we followed the trial back to the Widow Gage Trailhead. Lovely area and a fun loop hike that was shy of five miles. We went back and hiked around the park and vow to return mid-July to see them in full bloom! |
