 | Comments: |
Having previously only hiked it from Fish Meadow Road to the south, today we hiked Rich's Mountain from Robinson Road to the north. We started by following an ATV trail heading towards the mountain. We reached the junction with the now closed ATV trail up Rich's Mountain. At this junction we found the remains of multiple old automobiles. The closed ATV climbed the mountain gradually. Because it hasn't been used for ATV traffic since 2023, footing was much better than on active trails, although some areas were quite grassy. At the summit, wildfire smoke limited the views, but it was still a great place to sit and read for a while! |
