mm 3.4 Junction of the AT, the Benton MacKaye Trail Duncan Ridge Trail and the side trail to Long Creek Falls. The AT and Benton MacKaye Trail intersect five times in this section. I have pictures of most of these junctions. I will list them as junctions 1 to 5 going south to north. Junction 1 is the southern terminus of the Benton Mackaye Trail. The junction in this picture would be junction 5. The BMT and AT coincide from here south to Three Forks. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
