This trail makes a loop on the southern slope of Ellingwood Mountain, passing along a pretty brook and past an excellent viewpoint, known as "The Prow" along the way. Last time I hiked here, I hiked the Red Pine Ridge Trail, instead of completing the Parks-Bennett Loop. This time, I hiked the entire loop clockwise, and paused for a while to enjoy the view from The Prow. |
