Section 19: MA 32, Royalston to NH 119, Richmond, NH via Falls Brook and Monument Road

The trail leaves Massachusetts in this section. The hiker is rewarded with a splendid trail route, first co-aligned along with a section of the yellow-blazed “Tully Trail”, then adjacent to the scenic Falls Brook in the Trustees of Reservations Royalston Falls Reservation. A short 0.3 mile side hike downstream on the Tully Trail from the Trustees Shelter (2003) and bridge crossing leads to the dramatic waterfall. The M-M Trail heads north, upstream, entering New Hampshire south of Greenwoods Rd. From Greenwoods Road this first section of trail in NH runs for a mile northward through pathless woods. A junction is then made with an abandoned town road, which proceeds east and then north generally downhill towards the maintained section of Monument Rd to reach paved NH 119.
