Description
You'll have to access the parking area from Shaker Farm Road South, off Route 124. My GPS took me down Shaker Farm Road North...the parking is inaccessible from this direction. The trail leaves the parking area east and begins its ascent. It ascends over varying difficulties, then comes out to the rocky tops. It traverses open rock slabs and meets up with the Dublin Trail, at Jim's Junction. It appears that the Marlboro Trail coincides with the Dublin Trail to the summit (signified by D/M blazed on the rocks).
