Monadnock website with interactive map & trail descriptions

[BobC]

I found this link while looking for some info on the Pumpelly trail and thought others might find it useful. Besides the interactive map, it contains some pretty thorough descriptions of the longer trails up the mountain, which I haven't seen before:

Eh?
That doesn't sound right.

Pumpelly trail was closed when we hiked Monadnock. There were two trails on the map that we were offered and were told were closed. I refused the map, having the AMC one already in my possession.

Old Troy Road in Dublin has been closed by the town so technically, the Dublin Trail is "closed"

The lower part of Pumpelly is closed - up to the junction with Cascade Link. Got this info from park HQ Friday 5/1.

True. On May 2, there was still a sign at the Pumpelly trailhead saying it was closed. Lots of damage there last winter, and they haven't finished clearing it up yet.

In fact, if you take the Cascade Link to the upper Pumpelly (which IS open) you'll see some of the damage. It's been cleared on the Cascade itself, and the trail is open and walkable (and quite nice, in fact). At the Cascade-Pumpelly junction, there's flagging across the lower Pumpelly.

We saw 7 hawks soaring above us on Saturday.

Pumpelly Trail is now open.

I just check the park website and the Old Troy Road in Dublin, leading to the Dublin Trail, has now reopened.
Woohoo!!!

Went up the Dublin Trail today and witnessed the tons of work that was done to clear the trail. Thanks to all who helped!!!!

And we did the entire Pumpelly today and I am happy to report the trail is in fine shape.
