Looking down the Ranger Trail
Route: Ranger Trail, Lambert Ridge Trail, (Smarts Mountain), Lambert Ridge Trail
The Ranger Trail was not enjoyable - mud, slippery ledge slabs, and minimal redeeming qualities. The Lambert Ridge Trail outclasses it, even with the ups and downs, thanks to the great views.

The Lambert Ridge Trail
Directions to trailhead: From Route 25A, take Route 10 South toward Lyme. Take a left onto Dorchester Road (may also be signed as Lyme Center Road). Bear left onto a dirt road (still Dorchester Road) when the Dartmouth Skiway is visible to the right. The Lambert Ridge-Ranger Trail parking area and trailhead will be a few minutes up the dirt road on the left, just before crossing a brook.
