Plymouth Mountain
Plymouth, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Fauver Link Trail
Route: Fauver Link, Sutherland Trail (Plymouth Mountain), Sutherland Trail, herd path, Sutherland Trail, Fauver Link
Lunchtime jog started off on mostly dry trail under partly cloudy skies. Visited the east spur of the summit for the first time (there's a faintly scratched arrow sign adjacent to a cairn on one of the ledges near the summit that points to an initially cairn marked trail that becomes a herd path in the woods and leads to very nice ledges looking at the Whites and the Lakes Region).
Skipped Pike's Peak on the way back, as the rain moved in. The trail became damp, but not overly bad.
Lots of wildflowers.
