"After hiking Blueberry Hill, Dean and I headed up Rte 73 to Owls Head. A short, steep boulder scramble leads u to a bald summit lookout. Nearly a full circle view awaits u. Very cool panorama ! Just remember that this is a private property hike that is closed to the public on weekends." — garyogden • Jun 3, 2025
"With R and B. Perfect weather today. The trail was clear of snow and debris and had only a couple of wet spots near the start. The fire tower views were quite good, no real obstructions at the moment." — danielmartin • Apr 20, 2025
"A last minute decision after a day of volunteering with the 46ers to scoot up mount jo for some late fall views, unfortunately it was cloudy so summit views were limited but still a great day to be in the mountains, short and sweet up and the long trail on the way back" — ramjet1963 • Oct 9, 2024
"Hiked Goodman on my way home from a weekend trip to Canton. Nice easy hike, paved for first 3/4 mile, and then an easy ascent with no steep pitches to the summit. Nice view of Coney Mountain and other nearby peaks." — elimihuta • Sep 22, 2024
"My third hike of the day. After Black Bear, I did this hike. A short and steep hike. I was feeling it on the way up. Excellent views from the summit. Directional views overlooking part of the Fulton Lakes." — newenglandwarrior • Sep 19, 2024
