| Comments: |
Decent hike, descend was a little sketchy from all the water. Fog was heavy that morning and the trail just seems normally wet with all the streams and brooks. Starts off quickly gaining elevation with minimal breaks of "level" land. There are a lot of diversion paths throughout the hike for water which can catch you off guard if you aren't paying attention. Took us about 4 hours round trip. It was very muggy and humid even at 6am. You are pretty much in a covered trail till you hit the summit, which is surrounded by trees but the entire area of the summit with a large Rock Carin is open with no trees overhead. |
