From a high point on the Merritt Parkway above the orchard clearing, this trail follows a ridge to a rocky outcrop facing north across the Winooski Valley. From there you cross on to adjacent private land (with permission, providing you stay on the trail). The trail levels out past a series of prayer flags and then switchbacks down with occasional views across to Owl’s Head to join the Preston Loop near the ‘dog’ intersection."
