Trail is in awesome condition. When you get towards the top of the Southwest Summit, keep a look out for yellow blazes and/or cairns. There are a lot of herd paths that look like the trail but are not. |

 | Comments: |
IMO one of the best trails in the Pleasant Mountain Preserve. Challenging trail but not too difficult at the same time. The meadow near the SW Summit reminds me of Prospect Farm in Jackson, NH. Beautiful views, beautiful trail. Definitely a trail worth hiking! http://www.loonecholandtrust.org/ |
