Description
This trail branches off the corner of Hunt and Penobscot Road. In a short distance from this junction, you'll see a red arrow (on the right); this will take you to an old cellarhole. It climbs through a small mountain pass, then levels out. When you reach the sign that says "Trail Closed/Groomer Only", turn left up the hill. It passes by a large balancing rock (on the right), at the height of the hill. It descends from Parker Mountain down to the Old County Road, where it ends.
