Description
Head out on this clockwise loop from the Education Center parking area on the All Persons Trail. Continue west past Pike's Pond until the intersection with the Trail of the Ledges. This trail climbs rather abruptly and steeply for three-tenths of a mile past the Ravine Trail. It will begin to level off after the steepest section as you make the final push to the summit of Lenox Mountain and the firetower. Enjoy the magnificent views you've earned and relish in the thought that it's all downhill from here.Head back to the southeast along the Overbrook Trail through the hemlock ravine and past the Great Hemlock Trail. Continue onto the Bluebird Trail at an intersection with the Old Wood Road and Beaver Lodge Trail. The Bluebird Trail will return to the Education Center parking area.
