Description
This route has a slightly gentler grade compared to the Bear Mountain Connector up Daniels Mountain. The trail is well marked with orange-diamond blazes, but doesn't seem to get much use so the path isn't super defined on the ground. If you keep your eyes out for the tags and bring the Mobile App, you'll be good to go. There is no parking to speak of on the road, so using this as part of a loop with Bear Mountain Trail, Daniels Mountain Loop, and the Town Line Loop is the way to go.
