 | Comments: |
This is a quick hike that provides a similar experience as a mountain like Mt. Major, but with fewer views. This mountain has more elevation, but only provides a view south. A spur trail supposedly leads to a view of Stinson Lake and north, but the spur trails I found on the summit provided no additional views as everything was overgrown.
The trail is completely under cover so after the good rain we had the night before the rocks were quite slick, but the trail was virtually mud free. |
