Description
The trail starts off the Shannon Brook Trail and climbs through a hemlock forest. The trail climbs, steeply, to the viewpoint. The trail makes a sharp left turn back into the woods, then a long right. There is a little spur trail (on the left) that goes to a unique geological formation. The trail ends at the Bald Knob Trail.
