We parked at the Page Hill Mountain Biking TH on Murray Hill Rd and used some of the MTB trails to get to Dickinson Rd and start our BW from there. This worked for us today because there was no one else out in the parking lot or on the trails. In retrospect, if it were into the MB season the trails might be crowded because most are single track trails. After we returned to the car we scouted the alternate parking area off of Clough Road which turns into a class 6 road. This road is also used as part of the MB system but is a Doubletrack road so there is ample room to share the road. Clough runs into Dickinson and using these roads is a more direct route anyway.
After leaving Dickinson Road the whack was in open hard woods at first becoming a little whippy as we neared the summit. Just below the summit there are at least two open ledgy areas with really good views north and westerly providing sights from Cardigan to Franconia Ridge. We found the recognized high point and signed in after standing on two other possibilities, all of which could have been recognized as 'the' one. It was a wonderful day and place to be to avoid any contact during this pandemic. |
