Ascent Trip ReportVia trail from near bridge from Colebrook, NH. NH 26 crosses the bridge -- signs in Colebrook are very limited. The trail is not at all where the trail guide I was following said, but I found it eventually. From the bridge, go .2 mile north on VT 102 to a gravel pit on the west side of the road. There is a small white sign saying "TRAIL HEAD" with an arrow. Drive in towards the gravel pit and there are other signs pointing to the left and saying "TRAIL HEAD PARKING". From there, there is an unmarked trail of slightly beaten-down field grass, leading through the meadow to the left of the gravel pit. On the other side of the meadow, the trail goes into the woods and becomes easy to follow. On this day, the trail was very wet. It looked as if the stairs on the fire tower at the top of the mountain were climbable, but I didn't climb them because there was thunder and I felt I had pressed my luck enough already. Five minutes after I got back to my car I drove into Colebrook and a hard shower started.
