I went up to the viewpoint with view guide at the top of the Sheridan Woods trail. From there, I descended on the trail to the junction with the Red Hill Trail and followed it to its highest point on the south peak. The highpoint is a short bushwhack from this point. I struggled because I had heard the highpoint was recognized, but did not find anything. Having only a map which lacked detail to navigate, I worried I was missing something. However, I confirmed, that the highpoint is a GI Joe chair (may be gone in the future of course) and I noted holes in a tree from past recognition. I took the same way back |
