| Comments: |
This hike makes a somewhat steep but smooth climb up the old Tuckerbrook ski trail, then continues to the summit of Cannon Mountain up the Taft ski run. (Hiking on ski runs is technically not allowed at Cannon. Use caution and prudence.) The descent involved the old Mittersill ski run that goes beneath the old chairlift. Quite steep in places. |
