| Comments: |
Hiked about 1.4 miles up Mill Brook Trail, to about 2100', then bushwhacked to the summit. The flat summit is full of raspberry prickers to plow through. Lots of neat artifacts. Took a SW line off the mountain and was able to pick up sections of the former access road / abandoned trail (logging and erosion have erased portions, but spared others). |
