A variation on the hike Zachary did two days ago. I approached from the south, first going over Wilson Hill with its stellar views. I then took the ridge trail north, dropping down to the Class VI portion of Falls Road, then ascending to the high point on the trail, where there are restricted views from an open ledge. I continued a bit further then left the trail, circling around to the north of the 1,350 ft. highpoint of the ridge itself, bushwhacking up in mostly open woods to the register. There's also a small cairn a few yards away. I followed the same route out. Nice to get here finally, the high point had been on my to do list for a while. |
