Description

This route starts at a parking lot directly across from Doubletop Mountain. It uses the Marston, Mt. Coe and South Brother Trails. The path from the trailhead leads gently up and down through lowlands, crossing a sandy, shallow stream before bearing right. The footing is excellent, with mainly packed dirt and a smattering of roots and rocks. At the T intersection bear right, as the trail winds through hardwoods, eventually falling alongside a brook, which it crosses a few times. Fine water sources and waterfalls make the trail even prettier, as one starts to climb steadily.
