Mt. Toby
Sunderland, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Robert Frost Trail (prior following the power lines to the summit)
Having previously biked/hiked the access road up Mt. Toby in May, I became interested in hiking a proper trail to the summit. The Robert Frost Trail would be my route.
The trail starts fairly gradually, before meeting with the power lines and embarking on a moderate pitched ascent to the fire tower.
Despite some haze, the views were still fairly strong - Mt. Greylock, Mt. Snow, Mt. Monadnock, Wachusett Mountain, and Mt. Tom were all visible.
