Looking up the Scarboro Ridge Trail on the way to Durgin Hill
Route: Scarboro Ridge Trail, (Durgin Hill), Scarboro Ridge Trail
Hoping to get some trail work in before an incoming thunderstorm, I headed up from the north, over Durgin Hill and beyond. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get much done, as thunder started a good hour or two before expected. As was the case a few days earlier, the deer and black flies were brutal.

Green Mountain as seen from Durgin Hill
Directions to trailhead: To get to the northern trailhead, take Moulton Road north from Freedom. Eventually at T intersection, take a right onto Rice Hill Road (labelled as Cold Brook Road on some maps). Shortly after passing over a height of land (a house will be on the left), the northern trailhead of the Scarboro Ridge Trail will be on the right - a grassy road. There is limited room to park roadside.
