What a great plan to revisit this peak. The LT/AT is well traveled of course so the trail is in good shape and is very gradual on ascent. If you re weary, there is a camp about 100ft up from the parking area. Otherwise no camping near the summit. Enjoyed an extended break at the summit and chat with Jean and Hugh the caretakers. |
