"Started on the Undermountain Trail and did the loop counter clockwise. Busy summit, but most foot traffic was headed in the clockwise direction. Great hiking weather, partly cloudy and a little cool out there. Nice hike through the woods with some fun scrambles and beautiful views from the top." — jodola • Aug 13, 2022

"Decided to try for Candlewood Mountain with a 20 lb pack in preparation for a backpacking trip next month... let's just say I'll need to do this quite a few more times before I'm ready. I only made it a little past the Pine Knob lookout before turning back. Nice little hike though!" — ElectroSpecter • Aug 30, 2020

"Summited in the morning of day 3 of a solo weekend northbound backpack of the CT Appalachian Trail. After descending the summit, I continued on to Sages Ravine to ensure I made it into MA, then backtracked to the Paradise Lane Trail and out along the Under Mountain Trail to my shuttle.
