 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
A signed parking area with room for a few cars before the yellow gate. We saw one atv way up on the road, they had keys to the gate. The drive in from pavement on Bald Mtn Rd was pretty smooth for a logging road, just extremely dusty as I was third behind my two hiking partners ahead. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None. Well, we did hop one puddle in a ditch, if that counts. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A couple of blowdowns on the hiking trail, not too hard to get around. Trail is well marked and easy to follow. |

None that I recall. It was a beautiful breezy day. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
A pair of glasses at the end of the logging road where we launched toward the east peak. I hung them on a tree. |

 | Comments: |
We did these two peaks as separate up and down hikes rather than tackle the ridge in between. Both peaks had amazing 360 views. We also did a third peak, the west peak the day before from the gate on Notch road. That one had views too from cliffs just below the summit. The East peak was pretty tough for being only 0.6 miles and 600' from the road. The descent took us 45 minutes. Lots of blowdowns and steep tight woods to navigate, but I love a challenge sometimes, especially when there's a rewarding view. It was around 12 miles to get both peaks from the parking spot. We found a designated campsite back along the road with a great stream to take a dip in, one of the few streams flowing in this dry season. We were awoken at midnight by some kids out partying but they just sped away when they saw the camp spot occupied. |
