It had been a very long time since I was at Stahahe High Peak (almost 13 years!) It was a nice spring day, in fact somewhat cool with a strong breeze at the top of the mountain. I parked at the trailhead at the White Bar Trail on County Route 106, and took the White Bar Trail for a short distance to Island Pond Road.
I then was on the lookout for the trail intersection with the Stahahe High Peak Trail, which is unblazed. I found it at the cairn, and took it up the top. The path is unofficial and isn't as well marked but it can be easily followed to the view. I then turned around back to the intersection of the Island Pond Road, taking it to the Nurian Trail for a short period and then to the Dunning Trail.
The trail crisscross with the White Bar Trail and intersects it twice. At the second intersection, where the Dunning Trail ends, I took the Dunning Trail alongside Green Pond. This is a highly scenic part of the park, where the trail scrambles and goes underneath a rock overhang. I then took the Dunning Trail back to the White Bar Trail and then back to my car.
