 | Comments: |
We hiked from the trail head to the summit and then continued on to the ledges. The summit is viewless, but the ledges have have a great view. The trail is in amazing condition. We then continued down to the southern trailhead at Birch Avenue. This section trail is much less traveled and has a very wet stretch about a mile from the trailhead. If coming up from Birch Avenue, carefully following the trail description in the WMG. We only saw one person all day. |
