Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Parking for about 8 vehicles on Dolly Copp Road. Dolly Copp Road had about 1/3 of a mile paved section with several large potholes. The dirt road sections were in great shape. Any vehicle can get to the parking lot with care. For what it is worth, the Pine Mountain Road was in great condition. I chose to start from Dolly Copp Road, as I think (not sure) that hikers are not supposed to drive on the Pine Mountain Road.

Comments
Comments: What a great short loop. Pine has exceptional views of the Presis, Wildcats and Carter-Moriah Range in several spots. There are also viewpoints toward Gorham and the Mahoosucs. This peak is a hidden gem. Would like to go back and do the traverse from Dolly Copp Road to Gorham. One other thing: the Pine Mountain Loop Trail is a VERY sharp left with a small trail sign and some wooden steps going up it. It is easy to miss. The trail starts where there is a trail junction sign about .2 miles past the true summit.
