| Comments: |
The main trail (Robert Frost Trail) was in good shape, albeit steep and rocky near the top. I tried to find the Sunderland Caves to the north, but the trails in that area weren't signed very well and were a bit hard to follow, so I just backtracked to the Robert Frost Trail and continued toward Mt. Toby. The summit was wooded, but the views from the top deck of the fire tower, particularly to the south, were nice. |
