The trail climbs gently for about 0.6 miles until it reaches Old County Road (an old farm road) running north-south through the Hay Reservation. Turn right here, and after about 350 feet, turn left towards Sunset Hill. The trail climbs more steeply for about .5 miles before reaching the rocky summit of Sunset Hill.
