Buck Mountain

About this event

We will hike this beautifully forested trail about 3 1/2 miles to the junction with the Perimeter and Catamount Trails before returning the same way. We will have a lunch or snack break at the turnaround spot. There are no waterfalls on this trail, but many very large trees and the forest is lush with ferns. Expect muddy conditions. After the hike we may stop at Smith Village for a snack if hikers desire. Please contact the leader by noon of the day prior for meeting time, etc.
