Make your way to Copp Park on route 184 in Groton. This is near the intersection with Gungywamp Road. Park, make use of the facilities if need be, and begin your journey on yellow.
Follow the wide path and soon you will be at Central Bark.
Keep going with the chain link fence on your right, looking for a tree on your left with a yellow arrow on it. Follow the arrow.
Continue on this path, ignoring all side trails until you come to a "T" intersection. There is actually a foundation right in front of you.
Go right through a field of scraggly trees, stay straight, go into woods and then back into an open area. After reaching more “woods” go left on the blue trail at a three way intersection. Head uphill through mountain laurel, pass an inverted Y, come to an island of laurel and the trail levels out through more laurel. Stay on blue (avoiding yellow trails) until you come to a Y. Go left on an unmarked trail, downhill with traffic noises ahead of you. At the sharp right turn (just before the final descent into the valley) look for a large rock on the right. Bushwhack left for 25 steps (passing to the right of a small erratic) to two small kissing boulders. Look between them on the backside for Valley Frog.
Go down into the valley (with the reservoir ahead of you) turn right, go uphill on blue. At the three way intersection go left on yellow and walk with the reservoir on your left until you come upon a “sitting” rock a few feet off trail on the left. There’s a neat letterbox hole under it but it seemed to go to china so take 19 steps along the trail, turn right, go 12 steps off trail to the end of the boulder field and a large slanted rock. Mountain High is tucked into the side under a rock. Please be sure this box is covered well before leaving it behind.
If you continue forward on yellow, there are nice trails ahead of you. Stay on yellow and if you have to make a decision, go right (yellow sometimes goes both ways). You will end up back at the original intersection where you first picked up the blue trail.
