Comments
Comments: At parking lot, follow old tower hill road straight ahead. At first junction stay left, following stream on left. Continue to old abandoned cabin, and the woods road bed continues on climbing behind and to the right of the cabin. Privy available, if one is needed, behind the cabin. Follow the road bed, keeping the stream to your right until you cross over and continue with a steam now on your left. The trail continues to follow old road traversing the side of Dorset. Stay to the right at intersections and you eventually summit the tower peak. Head back down the trail to first intersection on right and trail will take you to the true summit. Look for signs. Trail is now broken out and footing underneath is compacted due to snow mobile traffic
