 | Comments: |
This is a terrific moderate hike with two peaks for the price of one. It's easy to miss the ledges on the North Peak. The trail is not well blazed. When you get to the big rock make a sharp right and keep following the trail to the beautiful ledges. Also be sure to check out the East Side cliffs. IMO far too many people hiking today, many of whom seemed unprepared for the rain shower than came over. I look forward to repeating this hike on a quieter day. |
