Took a short overnight hike in the Canaan Mtn area this weekend. Since Fire Trail 6 was being maintained and it was advised to not use it, I decided to hike out via Fire Trail 3. I have hiked this trail twice; one with some snow still on it and once with several friends, so I may just not have noticed.
Question: what trail crosses fire trail 3 about half way. The "trail" crossing is at the area of Fire trail 3 that has a flat rock as a bridge. The trail goes both directions. I followed it one way for about 1/8 mile thinking it might lead to a campsite, although the trail looks way too good as a campsite trail. The trail looks to be maintained and did have a few cairns on it. There were bike tracks in it too.
I checked my 7th edition of the Hiking the Mon national forest guide to see if the trail was the old Fire Lane Split trail, but that trail seems to only be from Lindy run trail to Davis trail.
Anyone know where this trail leads? Might be a reason for me to head back up to Canaan Mtn
