Description
To access the beginning of this trail, start off on a wide, maintained carriage road which is the Stillman Trail. After about a half mile, the Stillman Trail (yellow markers) breaks off to the left. However, stay on the carriage road until it meets up with the Bluebird Trail (blue/red markers). Along the carriage road, you'll come to a junction with another carriage road to the left. Follow this a short way to an old stone ruin. It is a foundation and basement from an old settlement house. Return back from where you turned off and proceed up the carriage road. Around another turn, you'll see another old stone ruin on the right but this one also has a steel corrugated shed. The carriage road gets a little more narrow after this point and soon you end up on the Bluebird Trail (blue/red markers).
