The Stinson Mountain Trail
Route: Stinson Mountain Trail
Needing a gentle hike for knee rehab, I decided to head over to Stinson Mountain and take advantage of the generally gradual trail.
With new leaves on the ground, I found navigating the trail perhaps a bit more difficult than it should be, due to the new leaves on the ground. Reaching the summit, I had decent views to the south and east, despite the increasing clouds. Just below the summit (at the beginning of the ledges, on the right whilst ascending), I followed a herd path to a narrow, but decent viewpoint of Stinson Lake.
The descent fortunately wasn't as bad as recent descents with the bad knee had been. Progress, I hope.

The Stinson Mountain Trail trailhead on Doetown Road
Looking at the Moose Mountains and Belknap Range from Stinson Mountain
Directions to trailhead: Take Route 25 to Rumney. Take Main Street (it will become Stinson Lake Road) north, then take a right onto Cross Road. When Cross Road intersects Doetown Road, take a right. The small parking area and trailhead will be a bit down this road on the left.
