Site Detail - G-4240

Directions

  1. Start at the Long Trail parking area on River Road.
  2. Hike past Duxbury Window and Spruce Knob (where routine fall maintenance usually ends).
  3. At 2.9 miles, just before a steep ascent, there is a triple-banded tree 100 feet on the left.
  4. Turn off the Long Trail and go 3000 feet due east, following Greg W's flags.
  5. The ledge ends with a steep but short drop. Go down this drop to another ledge.
  6. Turn right (south) and descend 800 feet through a large gulley.
  7. Follow lime green flagging tape to a stream, turn right, and go 400 feet east.
  8. At a bowl, the stream continues right and the flags bend north around the base of the cliff.
  9. This is site G-4240 and is 4240 feet from the Long Trail.

Site Characteristics

The site is a bowl about 100 yards across. Large cliffs arise on the north.

This site was not considered viable because of the difficult side trail, the distance from the Long Trail, and the likely wetness of the location.
