The Bog Mountain Trail Route: Bog Mountain Trail In hiking Bog Mountain for the first time earlier in the month, it was quickly added to the sunset hike rotation. Starting from the Stearns Road trailhead, I managed to jog only a few hundred feet, prior to needing to stop and put on Microspikes due to ice. A short while later, I resumed jogging to the summit, generally over dry ground, but nonetheless over some ice as well. After following the faint herd path to the summit, I returned to the ledges for the beginning of the sunset. While at first it looked like the clouds may obscure it, they ended up contributing to a great display. After watching the long display, we headed down, needing headlamps for the final fraction of a mile.
