This ended up being a little more than I expected. Took snowmobile trails almost to the ridge. From there I bushwhacked toward the summit, finding old roads along the way. The woods were full of saplings and it looks like the entire hill was logged over in the past. Lots of young growth to trip over. There's a small logged clearing on top, but the high point is on a ledge a short distance away; it is not recognized. No big views here.
I began to descend the SE side but it was very steep with an area of small cliffs so I went back up and worked my way around to the W and down at easier grades, once again using old roads at times. Once back on the snowmobile trails it was an easy walk back to the car.
Totally dry conditions with only one very tiny patch of snow seen. |
