Mount Toby - MA (Mountain)

-Approx 70 Reservation Road, Sunderland, Massachusetts
-visited June 2016
-8? Miles round trip
-easy
-no bathroom
-nearby: Roaring Brook Falls, Gunn Brook Falls, Slatestone Brook Falls
-notes:
     -dirt parking lot, free
     -one end of the road is paved, other end that goes by pond is dirt, not bad but not great
     -Roaring Brook Falls is along the trail
     -trail isnt a lot of stepping, mostly flat, loose stones
     - entire trail is an incline, with a couple short level breaks, has a good amount of grade but isnt too steep
     -summit has an observation tower, which is kind of sketchy, but is the only way of acquiring a view
     -view isnt bad, but have to battle the structural supports of the tower blocking/limiting portions of the view. Also trying to look over trees
     -trail coming down has bigger stones and pebbles, more stepping, more incline/decline, and is open to sunlight, then eventually goes back to woods
     -suggest go up Tower Road Trail and coming down Robert Frost Trail
     -majority of trail is shaded
     -has orange salamanders
     -bugs are minimal
