At the bottom of the mountain (~2 miles), turn RIGHT into the small rest area/turnaround to make a U-TURN and head back the way you came on Route 112 SOUTH. Take your first RIGHT (almost a fork) onto APPLE VALLEY ROAD. Follow directions From Apple Valley Road Entrance.

From the North: Take Route 112 SOUTH From Route 2. Cross the Ashfield Town line and Turn RIGHT (almost a fork) onto APPLE VALLEY ROAD. Follow directions From Apple Valley Road Entrance.

From Apple Valley Road Entrance: Stay on the paved road and bear right around the first corner. Follow the road before bearing right again to cross over a narrow bridge and past the Clark Orchard's big red storage barn. Take your second RIGHT up CEMETERY ROAD soon after the town line marker. Follow the steep hill up and BACK INTO the top of NORMAN ROAD. (dirt road above the big red barn).
