(Belknaps) Mt. Klem, Rand Mt., West Quarry Mt., Mt. Mack

We parked at the end of Bickford Rd./ Wood Rd. The two places mentioned in the trail guide for parking were unavailable. The bridge has a no parking sign and the area higher up is blocked by logs. But there is a large open area at the end of Wood Rd with room for many cars. From the parking area we took the snowmobile trail (left branch) up to Round Pond. From there we summited successively Mt. Klem, Rand Mt., West Quarry Mt. then back up Rand Mt. and Mt. Klem where we took the trail over to Mt. Mack. From Mt. Mack we took the service road back to Round Pond (It's not marked, but where the road splits be sure to go right) and followed our trail back to the car.
The trails are all in good condition with relatively few blowdowns except near the summit of West Quarry.

There was a trace of snow on Mt. Klem when we went over it in the morning but it was gone by the time we returned.

One stretch of the service road down from Mt. Mack was very muddy. Otherwise there was very little mud. There were no difficult stream crossings.

The black flies were very bad between Mt. Klem and West Quarry.

The Quarry trail appeared to have been recently reblazed and all the trails were fairly easy to follow.

The trail info notes and maps posted on the trees on the Quarry trail were an interesting touch and somewhat helpful. The old stone quarry on the side of West Quarry including some relics was very interesting.

There is a snowmobile helmet hanging on a tree on the way up Mt. Mack.
