From exit 8 off I-91 drive 3.3 miles to a right turn (North) onto Cascade Falls Road. Bear left at the fork to a right turn at 3.6 miles. Follow up a short steep hill to the Ascutney State Park parking area. From the information board, take the blue-blazed Weathersfield Trail which ascends log stairs as it enters the woods. The trail winds, rises, and falls over varied terrain to the 1.3 mile mark where it levels slightly to cross the valley and meets an old roadway.

This is the white-blazed Old Weathersfield Trail, which you follow past Gus’s Lookout and a trail to the left that leads to the West Peak. Continue straight from this junction to the antennae-covered summit at 2.9 miles. Return to the junction and follow the same trail back to the parking area.
