Cooper loved getting out on new trails. Kept on lease so we could quickly get out of the way of any bikers as they passed. |

Shoulder Role, road walk, into the wild (fast track)
Hiked to the summit from the Rt 142 side many times, but today I wanted to take the alternate longer route through the woods; I believe it is just under 5 miles out and back. This route is maintained by the Bethlehem Trails Assoc. for mountain biking, but hikers are OK, too. Trails were easy to follow, and marked with signage. Lots of switchbacks, and most were banked for the bikes. Saw 6 bikers zipping down hill (all on Shoulder Role); not sure if any were biking back up, or taking an alternate route.
Trails pop out at the summit where the views are great. Cannon ski trails are front and center, as is Lafayette, Garfield, Twins. Views of presidential range through trees, and Kinsmans, Moosilauke, could go on... I believe the property changed ownership a few years ago and is currently uninhabited. The viewing location remains open for everyone; thanks so much for sharing this great view. |
