Agnes Bowen Trail to
Charles Pack Trail to
Jessie Gerard Trail to
Robert Ross Trail
Trails predominately dry, with a few wet spots, mud pits, and occasional running water in the trail, but in all cases easy enough to go through or around. A few blowdowns to get around, especially on the Charles Pack trail, and on a couple of these it took a little care to pick up the trail again.
On the Jessie Gerard Trail, the trail going south from the Grand View lookout is a little hard to discern, it goes down a ledgy area with few/obscured blazes.
Bug spray is a good idea.
This sequence of trails make a pleasant, 3+ hour loop, with a pair of very nice outlooks over the valley of the West branch of the Farmington River.
