Comments
Comments: Some final work for the SNHG, getting an updated inventory of all the trails here. It's kind a pick your own route to the summit, as there are a few options. Just below the summit is a side path which leads to an open ledge with a good view south. I also wandered down toward Pinnacle Pond and followed two branches of a trail until they hit private property. A new trail is proposed to connect the easternmost branch back to the trailhead, allowing for a longer loop hike. Since exploring over here put me on the west side of the peak, I bushwhacked around the cone back to the parking area. Some cool cliffs on the north face.
