To get to Ragged Mountain Preserve follow West Lane west off route 71-A (Chamberlain Highway) for 0.6 miles. Parking for the preserve is on the right.

Round trip is 3.2 miles. The title is self explanatory.

Go straight past the map board and turn right onto the blue with red dot trail, very wet today. When the trail takes a sharp left (there's a sign telling you that the Metacomet is 1.5 miles away, that's your destination) follow this trail, crossing a stream (very difficult today) and going uphill. Eventually you'll go downhill along a waterfall and eventually come to some buildings ahead of you and a hairpin turn to the left. After that turn and going uphill yet again, you'll come to an intersection with several signs. Facing the West St. mileage sign, site 70 degrees and bushwack 50 steps to a two sister tree at the foot of a ledge. Look in a SPOR behind this tree.

To get back to you car I'd advise you to retrace your steps unless you have a map or are very familiar with these trails.
