Route: Tucker Brook Trail, Taft Trail, (Mittersill), Taft Trail, spur trail, (Cannon Mountain), spur trail, Taft Trail, (Mittersill), Taft Trail, other ski trails, unnamed trail, bushwhack, Tucker Brook Trail
Not considered a kosher route to Cannon due to state-run ski area trails being closed to foot use.
Trails were rather damp this morning, however they dried up later in the day. Ascended up Tucker Brook Trail, descended Mittersill, then took trail to Bridesmaid Falls and Plimpton Falls, then bushwhacked back up to Tucker Brook Trail.

Directions to trailhead: To get to the Tucker Brook Trail, take I-93 North to Route 18, then take Route 18 northwest past the Cannon Peabody Slopes and Mittersill entrances. A few minutes after, take a left off Route 18 onto Wells Road. A few minutes after, at a sharp right turn on Wells Road, take a left turn onto the dirt Tucker Brook Road (unsigned as of June 2011, except for a Dead End warning). There is a small parking area at the end of this road - the Tucker Brook Trail starts on the right (it does not cross the brook).
