This small portion of the Robert Frost trail is a 2.3 mile out-and-back hike that runs through Amhert's Amethyst Brook Conservation Area.

Great hike through the woods and along the creek, but this is a very popular trail.

There are a couple of bridges that cross the creek and a few different ways to navigate this area, but the GPS data provided only shows one of many paths before heading further east on the Robert Frost Trail outside of the Amethyst Brook area.
