Following the logging road easy and it narrows as you get closer to the wooded area to the top. Once you cut into the woods it is riddled with cut down little pine trees that were a pain to work over and on top of. On the way up I did loose the trail and followed a fresh bear trail to the top where I found the trail again. On top it is also riddled with blow downs at the worst part as it was right before getting to the peak. At the peak the elephant nose is still there and was left soak from my own way there. On the way down I did stay with the trail was hard at one point but made it back to the road with even running into a giant moose that got spooked by my presents. |
