Trail Conditions

Notes

I came over here after doing the Ayers Pond peaks loop. There was definitely more snow on those - the difference of Northern vs Southern exposure. I was expecting to be able to drive through to the Newbury end, but it’s closed for mud season. (Mountain Road should be open from both ends.) The loop I did was about 3.8 miles and took 1.5 hours. Nice woods everywhere, I saw a deer near the top and found view ledges at the summit. Patchy snow was not much of a problem, and there was even lots of bright green moss on the summit. I ended up doing about 1.5 miles of road walk to complete the loop and it was raining very lightly the second half of the hike. 4 peaks done in 4 hours.

Parking

I parked roadside south of the peak by a farm on Brown Rd. This road was closed for mud season with a snowbank plowed in front of it. I think Mountain Rd was open all the way from both ends, but not sure. No posted signs on this end but I walked past a few houses before starting the whack.
