| Comments: |
Started by walking up bridge road (faded yellow sign). Used standard route. The road climbs high, offering nice views. The road eventually turns into a herd path. I took it to the Tim Pond town line (yellow blazed boundary), turned left following the boundary to the height of land, then bushwhacked north. The bushwhack was fairly easy through open woods. I cut around a couple potential spruce trap zones. I walked right up to the high point and followed my tracks out. |
