Description

From the junction with Fodderstack Horse Trail 95, bear right to climb one mile to the junction with the Stratton Bald Trail. A short side trip to Stratton Bald is worth the effort for the incredible views. The trail then descends through rhododendrons to rejoin the Fodderstack Horse Trail 95 at mile 1.7.
