 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
i parked under the powerlines on halls brook road in groton south of the peak. there are definitely shorter potential approaches to this peak, but some have potential private property issues. this round trip was a bit under 5 miles, but has no private property issues and some very nice views along the powerline swath. |

 | Comments: |
the snowmobile trail under the powerlines had patchy snow remaining in spots, but is mostly snow free. some very soft spots and mud, but good walking for the most part with moderate grades. had my first bear encounter of the season running into one coming down the snomo trail as i was going up. views to the south opened up and were quite nice higher up. once over the height of land there were great views to the white mountains to the north and east. after a short drop and climb up a side trail leaving west it was a short bushwhack through a large cut to the recognized highpoint. after walking around the cut over summit area for a few minutes looking for varied views i hiked back out the same way. |
