Best parking was along Rt. 3, east of the junction with 198 and the Asticou Inn. We parked at the Asticou Azalea Garden, a very zen Japanese-like garden with parking on 198, just north of the Rt. 3 jct.
It was nice walking thru there, but it was a bit long of a walk along Rt. 3 from there to our real first destination, the Asticou Terraces. I liked the groomed terrace trail very much, again very Japanese-like in the trails, terraces, and little structures on the paths.
We flew thru the Thuya Garden, but it did seem very nice. Continued thru to the real path up Eliot Mtn. It was a nice simple hike. Not much for trail markers and it was heavily wooded, so no idea how far to the summit was at any point. Not much for views either, due to the trees and the low mtn height, but it was a nice hike, esp. with the start (or end) in the Asticou Terraces.
