*There are no photos from this hike - it was a spontaneous decision of mine while driving around after dropping a friend off at a lesson*

This was a very easy, quick hike. From the parking lot of West Pelham Road, the Robert Frost Trail begins immediately. Quickly after the start the trail divides a couple of times. To the right the yellow trail begins (but not marked), and to stay on the RFT just stay on the main trail. Soon after the trail crosses the Amethyst Brook where it parallels for the majority of the hike. After following the trail for a bit, a footbridge with the yellow trail will intersect the trail. This can be taken back for a 1.1 mile loop. I followed the RFT to the end of the conservation area and backtracked. Along the trail there are ruins of a car, and stone labyrinth, and interesting small concrete sculptures.
