Description
From near the summit you descend west and then south. You'll traverse Green Mountain along the south side, in a way, mirroring the Green Mountain Trail but higher up the mountain. This is a nice alternative to the standard trail. There is a hang glider launch area a bit west of Green Mountain's summit.
