Owl Head lookout is a true gem in any season, but especially in fall. Moderate hike of 5.2 miles round trip and 1300 feet elevation gain. Easy climb for the first mile to a crossing of Slide Brook, after which there is a steady but never steep climb with views of interesting small cliffs. The trail reaches a ridge at 2.5 miles, where there’s a short, steep, 0.1 mile spur trail to the lookout where there are open views in almost all directions. A rain date of Sunday 10/4 will be available if the weather on the 3rd is not good. Contact Barry Francis at [email protected] for further information. For more info, visit gmcbreadloaf.org.
