 | Comments: |
The trails from Rowe Hill Road to the north are now marked "no trespassing," but I got a tip about a trail heading up from East Twitchell Pond Road to the west. This trail was easy enough to find and turned out to be an unmarked, but well defined hiking trail. After a moderate ascent, it quickly reached the first clifftop viewpoint before looping around and joining the trail from the north to reach the second. These two clifftop views provided a spectacular vantage point over Twitchell Pond with views to the east, south, and west. |
