Dummerston, VT
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the Black Mountain Trail
Route: Monadnock Mountain Trail
Black Mountain Natural Area Nature Conservancy northwest of Brattleboro.
Trail was mostly dry and in good shape. Lots of advanced trail work has been done in the lower elevations to preserve the footing.
Decent amount of blueberries on the summit. Views were underwhelming, but poking around the ledges revealed Mt. Monadnock and Wantastiquet Mountain.
