Up the Class of 33 Trail and down the old Williamstown Ski area trail
The Class of 33 trail was very steep after the first mile. The trail down the old ski area was extremely steep most of the way. My body did not like the punishment I gave it on this hike.
The top was a sea of ferns but I found no ticks on me. The view from the summit is not 360 unless your are around 10 ft. tall and it's when all the leaves are off the trees. But it was still a beautiful day with quite a few views to be seen. |
