Comments
Comments: I've driven by here a million times but have never checked out these peaks until today. I made the short but steep climb up to Little Roundtrip and the Inspiration Point outlook. Excellent views here. I visited the wooded high point, then looped back down via Stephens Trail, which is initially steep.

Back at the parking area, I walked about 0.1 mi. north on New Chester Mountain Road, then turned left into the woods onto an old woods road which initially paralleled a stone wall. This road was pretty clear all the way and I followed it up to a point about 0.1 mi. southeast of the summit. I then bushwhacked up through steep but very open woods to the top. I checked out the various bumps but didn't locate the register which Zachary mentioned in a previous report.

Neat trail system on Little Roundtop, I'll have to come back to check out the other routes.
