Three weeks ago we rode on the western half of the Presidential Range Rail Trail. So this week let's explore the eastern half of the rail trail on the abandoned B&M rail bed. We'll cover about 18 miles while we ride out and back from the trail head on Route 2 in Gorham. This easy trail will take us through the woods with beaver ponds and meadows and some beautiful mountain views, to the height of land at the Castle Trail in Bowman (Randolph).
Directions: Go north on Route 16 to Gorham. When route 16 meets route 2 at the T intersection turn left. Go through Gorham on Routes 16 and 2 until Route 2 diverges to the left at the traffic light . You'll see the trail head parking lot on the right about .8 miles after you turned left on Route 2.
For those of you who want to carpool meet at The Old Town Hall in Jackson, across the road from the post office at 9:15am.
