Crag Mountain in Northfield.
The Metacomet-Monadnock (aka New England Trail) used to traverse over this peak, but I'm not sure what's going on at the moment. There are blue blazes leading up from Mountain Road, however they stop prior to reaching the steeps and have been painted over thereafter. It appears the New England Trail now follows a roadwalk to the east, missing this nice peak altogether. I followed the now unmarked trail to the summit and never encountered any posted signs (plenty of footprints indicating it's still hiked).
Trail had generally 1-2" of snow on it, but nothing too too slippery. |
