Another quick morning hike. This trail starts out mellow, but gets right down to business quickly, becoming very steep up to the ledge, where there is a framed view to Wickwas Lake and Bald Ledge.
From the ledge I bushwhacked up the very flat ridge, first encountering red and blue boundary (?) blazes. Woods are very open and I encountered what looked like a very faint trail corridor at times. The high point was difficult to determine due to the flatishness. I passed a large boulder with a cairn that was outside the highest contour. I continued within the highest contour, passing over an unmarked bump, then an easternmost bump which had an interesting birds nest-like shelter. |
