Parked at Brown Mountain Gatehouse lot off Route 3. In hindsight, at this point in the day, I might have parked near Lower Hadlock Pond, where it looks like some others park. |

 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape.
Trails on the east side of the pond are a little bit confusing, as they essentially circle around a private residence, then drop onto an access road to the dam.
The best on trail views on Norumbega are on this trail, just before the summit, providing a nice sunset perspective this evening. There's also a great eastern view via a short but scrappy bushwhack east from the highpoint (did this in the spring, but skipped on this evening on account of time). |
