 | Comments: |
Peak located in western mountains of Acadia NP so trails see much less traffic than the peaks to the east - saw only 2 people. Trail generally dry with a few isolated patches of mud most notably in the notch, heading out of great notch up the only really step section there is a place with wet rocks that can be a bit slick. Not much in the way of views - outlook on short spur on Knight Nubble and outlook just before Bernard mtn summit. |
