Weeks Brook Trail starts off on a grassy FR. Cross the bridge and keep going, trail sign on the right about .6...goes through a nice hemlock forest up to a grassy clearing, grass very high up but with a path through it..look for a trail sign on a dead tree then a metal pole with hiker symbol..minor wet and mud up to Shingle Pond..couple of patches of thick small fir but trail is not hard to follow, up high some new yellow blazes..plenty of folks at the summit..saw only one other person on this trail, watching a moose at Shingle Pond...enjoyed this trail very much! |
