Standing Stone ( top of White Dot trail)
The White Dot and White Cross trails are the most direct trails up Monadnock. They start in the state park on the southeast side of the mountain, diverge after a little while, then merge again. At the top the combined trail, called the White Dot Trail, is rocky but relatively flat until just below the summit. The standing stone shown here is one of the last landmarks you pass during the steep final climb.

Puddle Northeast of Summit
The Pumpelly Trail follows a long ridge from the northeast. Just before it finally reaches the summit, it passes this little pond.

Fractured Rock ( top of White Dot trail)
This spot is located very near the bent tree near the top of the White Dot trail. I'd walked past it many times before it
caught my attention one foggy day.
