Trails Used

Firewarden's Trail, Horn Pond Trail, Appalachian Trail South

Trail Conditions

Notes

Great loop, although I'd probably do it CCW instead of clockwise next time to avoid coming down the steep part of Firewarden's. Horn Pond Trail is a gem, soft under foot. Horn Pond is beautiful. North Horn and South Horn are worth tacking on if you are just planning on the 4Ks.

Parking

Room for 25 or so cars on Stratton Brook Pond Road.

Water Crossings

All minor.

Wildlife

Very windy. Bugs had no chance.

Trail Conditions

Notes

After hiking The Rangeley Six Pack it was a great pleasure to get back to a well maintained and used trail. Main difference here as was less wild life and more people. The hard part of the hike was the heat wave which when you reach west peak becomes easier to deal with and once at east peak a well deserved break with a windy breeze was great.

Parking

Plenty of parking for a day in the middle of the week.

Water Crossings

A few small ones at the beginning stage
