The road is still open during the summer but the Inn at the top is closed. I was a co-operator of the Inn from 1958-62. [Jim Fahey, 05/17/2009]
Mountaintop Grave of Mr. Barbo Atop Mt. Equinox, a large granite monument to Mr. Barbo,
beloved dog of an unknown owner, who was killed by a hunter in 1955. Mt.
Equinox is located off of route 7a, just south of manchester -- visitors can
drive to the top via a toll road. Nice drive with a few hairpin turns to
make it interesting. A hotel is located on the summit. A short hike
along the ridge trail will bring you to the gravesite; visitors leave
'prayer stones' on top of the marker. The work to put this gravestone in
must have been daunting. Another dog was laid to rest next to Barbo
-- Creamer was buried (and killed) in 1995, on the anniversary of Barbo's death.
Seems to be a must-see site along the hiking trail. [Carole Zeneski, 10/22/2000][RA: A candidate for the Noble Dog section of the Pet Cemetery.]
