Hike Description
- From the Post Office on Church Street, follow the A.T. southbound (see the directions for the hike to the Cobbles for more detailed directions).
- After reaching the Cobbles, continue along the A.T. In 0.5 mile, turn east near the stone boundary marker for Dalton-Cheshire. The Trail crosses an old, grassy logging road and continues for 1.3 miles, heading gradually uphill, crossing more old logging roads, and eventually reaching the summit at an overgrown pasture.
- From here, the Trail begins its descent to Gore Pond, reaching the outlet in about 0.5 mile. There is a logging road here that provides access to the west side of the pond.
- Retrace your steps to complete the hike.
Directions
