Please do not shortcut the many switchbacks on this loop. We do not want "alternate" trails to become the norm.
The Blue loop consists of typically old school New England type trails including narrow, tree lined trails, rock features and rock gardens all tied together by twisty single track. The best flow will be found when following the direction marked with Blue triangular blazes but,in either direction,you will be challenged.
