What Are Your Favorite Sections of the New England Trail?

[Dirty Bird 99]

I really like Ragged Mountain area in Berlin- some rugged sections, beautiful views and can do a big loop. Also the new section of the trail in southern Guilford (head south from Bluff Head) is really nice and rolling.

Growing up in South Hadley, Judd Park at base of Bare MT was a frequent camping spot for my scout troop. Hiked the trail from MT Tom to Northfield MT over the years & several Monadnock climbs. Love Mt Tom & Holyoke Range. Major problem with the trail is finding camping spots.

Since switching from a ground sleeper to a hammock sleeper, a camping spot no longer is an issue for me. Just back on Wed. from a Mt. Monadnock to Lake Wyola (Shutesbury, Ma) hike. Every day as I hiked (usually around 4 pm), I just looked for a picture perfect, mid- elevation spot & would strap between the trees! Love that kind of freedom!! LNT rules, of course!
