The Skyline Trail ascends easily from the trailhead on an old woods road, crosses two small streams, and enters the Breadloaf Wilderness. The trail continues more steeply by long switchbacks, crosses the Long Trail, and then continues to Skylight Pond and Skylight Lodge at 2.6 miles. Trail blazing, maintenance, and signage will be minimal in Wilderness Areas.
