The trail begins by basically heading south along the edge of bucolic Bennett Hill Farm.
A bit west of Bennett Hill Farm sits another farm at the base of Cass Hill.
I followed the green marked trail to the red trail, which has been recently been rerouted. The red trail has a couple of switchbacks as it snakes its way up the northeast slopes to the summit plateau. Once on the summit, I picked up the yellow marked trail which leads north to a couple of great viewpoints.

Continuing south on the yellow trail, I glimpsed a view west down towards the nearby farms below through the trees.
A light breeze made it feel a bit more comfortable as I strolled along the sun filled summit plateau.
I headed just a bit off trail to find the true summit at an elevation of 1135 feet. Unfortunately, it is completely wooded with no views.

An early glimpse at some fall color.
Hiked around 3 miles RT on a nice, but warm 38th birthday.
