“A long trail that summits Windham High Peak, follows the ridge to Blackhead Mountain and then descends to the notch.”

Description
The trail then descends to Dutcher Notch, a shoulder between Blackhead and Stoppel Point. You could continue along the Long Path or descend further on the Colgate Lake Trail to the west of Dutcher Notch Trail to the east. This trail would require one to have parking at both ends or be ready for a long return run.
