Leave the east side of Route 113 at the
Evans Brook Bridge, north of Hastings
Campground. Follow the trail up
moderate to steep grades about 0.5 miles
to an open ridge called the Roost. Follow
the path down hill for a short distance to
open ledges with excellent views of the
Wild River Valley and many mountain
peaks. From the Roost, continue south
along a more gradual grade until the trail
reaches Route 113 on the south side of
Hastings Campground. Distance back to
the starting point is about 0.6 miles along
the road.
