"This trail not only offers a thrilling and stunning ascent and summit, it allows hikers an opportunity to walk in some famous footsteps. Legend has it that in 1850, authors Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville had a lengthy conversation on Monument Mountain. The meeting is said to have inspired the genesis of Moby Dick."
