The trail leaves on the north side of the Base Station Road, directly across from the parking lot. It ends at the intersection with the Gulfside Trail. At 0.1 mile it crosses the Ammonoosuc River, bears east, and passes the intersection of the Boundary Line Trail at 0.3 mile. It crosses Clay Brook, ascending gradually up a ridge where at 2.8 miles it emerges above timberline. It switchbacks up the rock-strewn slopes to join the Gulfside Trail at 3.5 miles.
Untested water is available.
Boil or chemically treat it before use. The alpine vegetation found near and above timberline is very fragile. Stay on the trails to protect the area from damage. Gas stoves are permitted. All rights reserved.
