Comments
Comments: John and I went into this area to get three peaks: W Branch Abbott; Tracy Brk; Lamb Valley. Road all great and all three peaks easily doable in a day.

Active logging within the first couple of miles, and big trucks on the road, so drive carefully.

From the parking spot, NE of the peak, we had a reasonable line that took us through mixed logging regrowth. We descended down a slightly damp and whippy logging drag path.

We aimed for the col just to the SE of the peak before aiming directly to the summit. Round trip well under an hour.

Another successful NH500 hike with JEM3.
