| Comments: |
Some of the rocks in the brook valley climb are potentially slippery as they are mossy and are haphazardly placed. There are no summit signs on either North or Middle Tripyramid peaks. At the summit of North Tripyramid there is a very short side path to a nice outlook to the east. Just before arriving at Middle Tripyramid there is a good outlook to Tecumseh and Osceola. At the top of Middle Tripyramid there is a good view to the east. The hike is a mix of easy trail with steep ledge sections which are difficult when wet or icy. There are many bypasses in the adjacent woods to avoid the worst of the ledges on the north side of Mt Tripyramid. |
