The Cross-Rivendell Trail
Route: Cross Rivendell Trail
This section of the Cross Rivendell followed some old portions of the Appalachian Trail, adding some switchbacks around some rougher areas. While I did a little jogging at first, I switched over to hiking for the balance of the ascent. There were multiple nice viewpoints along the way. The trail was generally tame, with the exception of a steeper ascent up ledges near the summit.

Directions to trailhead: From Route 25 in Wentworth, take Route 25A west. Shortly after driving past Mt. Cube, take a left onto Baker Road. The Cross Rivendell Trail will eventually cross the trail, with the Mt. Cube section being further up the road. There is limited room to park next to the trailhead.
