      Not a bad way to climb up mt constitution. The spiral up is longer than other routes but doable. Coming down is lots of fun with good flow and a few climbs/pedal sections but never too long. Watch for hikers

      Definitely do not go into this trail expecting it to be "a downhill." It is not. There's a few good downhill sections interrupted by a lot of traverse or climb sections. Also not a blue trail, it is wide, not steep, and not technical - clearly a hiking trail that bikes are allowed on, not the other way around.
