There are no formal hiking trails to PATN (Peak Above The Nubble). Reaching the summit involves a bushwhack. The more traditional route involves an approach from the north beginning at Haystack Road. If unfamiliar with this route, you can get a description by cutting and pasting the following link into your browser.

Rather than using the traditional northern route, I recently bushwhacked to PATN using a western approach which is preferred by some, myself included. The majority of this bushwhack is through open woods, but there are a few sporadic gnarly spots, especially near the top. A GPS track and some photos from this trek are at my BLOG (see link below).
