Comments
Comments: This was a big loop up Centennial Trail, north on Mahoosuc Trail, and down Peabody Brook Trail. In addition to offering views from various ledges, this hike passes two beautiful mountain ponds: Page Pond and Dream Lake. Although none of the summits are over 3000 feet, this hike has lots of ups and downs. I measured 3700 feet of total elevation gain.

Centennial Trail and Mahoosuc Trail both coincide with the AT. There were lots of thru- and section-hikers on this stretch of the AT today.
