 | Comments: |
I took the AMC Guide route, to a great view ledge at the lower, south summit. I nearly doubled my distance from the AMC route, to about 4 miles RT, by continuing along the ridgeline east, over the actual summit to a point where the old track was reentering the woods. That is an attractive section, with some good views of nearby Streaked Mtn. |
