The gurus behind the proposed Q and M Trail, a new loop connecting Massachusetts’s North Quabbin region with New Hampshire’s Mt. Monadnock area, announced the project should be done this year. The 240-mile loop will feature 30 to 35 overnight stops, including cabins, campsites, and shelters. Most of the trail has already been built, but the Q and M project will finally link them all to form a new long route.
