Quick Overnight on Tumbledown Mountain

I’ve hiked Tumbledown Mountain numerous times and it is always worth it.  The views are great, sunsets are spectacular, and the pond at the top makes for a nice place to take an evening swim.  From Brook Trailhead the ascent is a short 1.9 mile moderate hike that leads straight toward Tumbledown pond, its the quickest way up the mountain.  For a little extra mileage there is a loop trail the totals about 5 or so miles and includes a 1 mile road walk.  The summit can be a very busy place mid summer.  If you want the place to yourself I would recommend going on a weekday, its a little less traveled and the camping spots are plenty.
