|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I parked at the main lot, on 107 in So. Bridgeton, which accesses the trails from the north. A trail maintainer I met when I got back to my car said the loop trail from the south, with its own smaller lot down the road, is longer, more challenging and more fun. |

Dry Trail |

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The Loon Echo Land Trust maintains a busy little network of hiking and XC trails that approach the summit from both north and south and branch out to nearby ponds. The ones I took were in excellent shape, and I appreciate the judicious view-clearing. |

Plenty of them. |
