Looking up the Bois Mountain Trail Route: Bois Mountain Trail After hiking Mt. Success, we headed west to find Boy Mountain. Parking adjacent to a spring, we walked west on US 2, then headed up the Boismont Drive, bearing right at a split. The trail proper started behind a house at a small shed with a sign. Intially a steep field, the trail veered off to the right quickly and then joined a series of old logging roads, before becoming more trail-like for the main portion of the ascent. Though less than a mile in length, it was nonetheless a steady climb. Reaching the end of the trail, there were excellent views to the south - it would perhaps be a great viewpoint if the Presidentials weren't in the clouds. Nonetheless, it was a nice view even with the subpar weather. After touching a potential highpoint off trail, we returned the way we ascended, taking a different private way between the house and barn back to US 2.
