Trailside to Tower 5.8 mile Loop

This trail starts at the Trailside Museum and includes the Fire Tower hill and Brown trails, two hills that will get your blood rushing. Unlike the Fire Tower Summit run, this trip up the mountain takes a lesser-used trail at 49 but beware, it’s a little marshy in that area so mind your footing or you may be running in wet shoes. This course is similar but a shorter version of the Town to Tower 7.3 mile run. A challenging but rewarding run to be sure.

The Free Avenza Maps software now has a free trail map of the Reservation available here. I’ll make .kml files available as I can so you can load them as layer overlays. Now there’s no excuse to get lost.
