Trail Directions:
Begin at the main trailhead on Route 103A, directly across from The Fells gatehouse parking area. The trail reaches a T about 500 feet past the trailhead kiosk – turn left here. The trail climbs gently for about 0.6 miles until it reaches Old County Road (an old farm road) running north-south through the Hay Reservation. Turn right here, and after about 350 feet, turn left towards Sunset Hill. The trail climbs more steeply for about .5 miles before reaching the rocky summit of Sunset Hill.
