Saturday Fall Color Hiking Series: Broughton Ledges

JOIN US FOR THE third OF OUR SATURDAY FALL COLOR HIKE SERIES WITH A TRIP UP Broughton Ledges IN Moriah AT 10 AM ON OCTOBER 22nd.

From the trailhead, Broughton Ledges crosses a small stream and then proceeds along the base of a mossy little cliff, from which water prodigiously drips as if from a sodden sponge. When the old logging road begins its steep climb, the CATS trail breaks off and goes up the ridge with a series of short, surgical switchbacks and a small set of stairs to a point that guidebooks poetically describe as “a height of land.”

To find this trailhead from the east: At the intersection of Windy Hill Rd and Ensign Pond Rd, go west on Ensign Pond Rd for 2.3 miles.

To find this trailhead from the west: At NYS Rt 9, go east on Casa Turn Rd about 0.2 mi to Ensign Pond Rd. Go east on Ensign Pond Rd for 7.5 mi.

This hike is 5 miles round trip and is considered a difficult hike.
