 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Going by rocket21's previous report, I parked just before the power lines along the access road to the cell tower on Wolf Hill. This was right across from a brown house with the sign "Oliver House". To reach this point, follow Wolf Hill Road in from 149 in Deering, and straight through the His Mansion Ministries property. Just after the office, turn right onto the access road ("Private Drive") and the parking will be just up on the right. Signage at the bottom of the access road welcomes foot traffic. |

 | Comments: |
While in the area, I decided to check these two small peaks out.
From the parking area, I walked up the access road to the summit, where there is a cell tower (no wonder my signal is so good in Deering!). The wooded high point is several yards behind the tower. A large open ledge with three giant crosses affords a nice view west. from the ledges, a white-blazed trail drops to the col and then climbs to Clark Summit. Great views from there as well, with a plaque in the ledges providing some history. The high point is marked by three iron bolts in the ledge. Clark Summit is also the high point of Deering. From Clark I descended back into the col where I picked up an old logging road which descended to a more prominent road, also blazed in white. I followed this down as it intersected with a myriad of old logging roads. At a four way junction, there is a beat up old sign reading "Saddle Trail". I turned left onto the rough extension of Wolf Hill Road. This led out past the pigpen noted in earlier reports (you can park here if you just want to go up to Clark) and then back to the ministries. |
