This is a great alternate route up Whiteface if you are concerned about the ledges on the Blueberry Trail. About two miles of the ascent is flat to easy, then it becomes moderately steep, and the last mile is steep. The footing is good throughout except for a short scramble over some ledge near the summit which is actually quite manageable. the 180 degree view from the top of the white face is very nice. The actual peak is about 0.3 mile along the Rollins Trail. There is no sign for the summit but there is an obvious cairn on the trail at the actual summit. |
