 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Large parking lot, probably holds 15-20 cars. I was first one in at 7:30 AM on a Wednesday, 10 cars at 10:50 AM. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Zero, at this time. There are a few dry stream beds that probably carry water at other times. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is in good shape and easy to follow. Lots of nice stone steps, also stepping stones in muddy sections. One step-over about 3/4 miles in, and one walk-under up above the ledges. Blue diamond blazes are widely spaced, but no problem finding the trail, at least this time of year. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw a few, seemed happy. Trail should be OK for most hiking dogs. Little if any water available on trail. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Mosquitoes. I covered up and used DEET. Worked OK, except when I sweated the DEET off and needed to re-apply. |

 | Comments: |
This is a good easy-to-moderate hike. There is a nice stretch of ledges partway up, with decent views. The open summit has great views, especially to the west. However, it was quite hazy today, probably a combination of high humidity and smoke from Canadian wildfires. Trail was in good shape and mostly dry, just a few muddy sections, easily avoidable. |
