I'd never been on this trail but after an appointment in Plymouth this morning I popped over to check it out. It looks pretty straightforward on the Plymouth Conservation Commission (PCC) map, but I found it pretty confusing in places.
The lower section has been disrupted by logging. I lost the trail a couple of times near "South Peak" due to poor blazing and lack of a visible corridor, and just bushwhacked up. I found the trail again but wandered off a couple more times heading over to "North Peak". Both summits also appear to have white-blazed trails looping over them. These trails do not appear on the PCC map, adding to the confusion.
While the map does indicate each summit has a viewpoint, I only found one restricted view on "South Peak". The map also shows the trail continuing north beyond "North Peak" but I only went as far as the summit as it wasn't clear where the trail corridor was.
Dry conditions and lots of heavy leaf cover. Fortunately there's nothing too steep here so the leaves weren't too much of an issue. |
