Parking area for Humpback Rocks. From here there is access to the AT at three points. Access to the trail at MM 6.5 follows a blue-blazed trail at the far end of the lot (north). The unblazed access to the trail at MM 7.6 starts just to the right of where the red car in the shade on the right (east) side of the picture was parked when picture was taken. Access to the trail at MM 10.5 follows a blue-blazed trail behind where the picture was taken (south). Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
