A steep, lightly used unmarked summit trail that forks at the lower end. Trail is easiest to located from the upper end where it is reasonably well marked with cairns from Penobscot Mtn Trail (#48). Hikers mistakenly traverse northern end, missing 90 degree turn on Penobscot Mountain Trail. Still standing (2003) is an old round signpost, with rusted nails, at the ridge top intersection. Trail descends with a few rough crafted steps. The fork that swings east descended a short staircase that hugged carriage road retaining wall until mid 1990s. Fork that continues south drops by a series of steps and old stacked cairns to cross the carriage road, then continues down another set of steps. Steps above and below southernmost carriage road crossing, likely installed during road construction. The route continues down through the woods, with no discernable built features other than cairns and joins the Asticou Trail (#49) at what was formerly a five-way trail intersection. Occasionally wooded, also open ledges and extensive views. CJ, GS, KJ, MB
