I drove in on Alder Steam road and south road staying closer to the stream, but noting that the roads bear further north than shown on maps. About 10 mi. from Rt. 27 I deemed too rough for my small car and walked. |

I walked the road for a couple of miles before hitting the col. The woods were a bit thick around the col, but not bad getting up to it. I started with boil, finding some thick woods and steep going around the top. A sub peak to the north has great views. The recognized highpoint was only a short distance from the subpeak. I headed towards Onion, finding thick woods near the top of Boil, and in the col. but not bad on Onion, to the recognized highpoint. From Onion, I headed straight to the road, finding some thick going, but nothing too bad. |
