Map available from the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust. We found the northern end easily. The section marked Upper Loop is more likely ~3 miles than the ~2 marked on the map. While the Q-M is well blazed with spray painted yellow Q's, the side trail that closes the loop, marked red on the map, is not. The Q-M follows forest roads that are driven by trucks & atv's. The section on Wiley Road and Chestnut Hill avenue is not marked at all. Wiley road was a dump - strewn with trash.

The southern end parallels the north bank of the Millers River, crosses it via the King Street Bridge, then parallels the south bank where it is marked as connecting into the Thousand Acre Brook trail in the Bearsden conservation area. We found trails on both banks. The trails were marked with blue tape. There were no indicators of the Q-M at all. We'll explore further to see if these actually do connect as shown on the map.
