 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Just need to be aware on the ledges, especially coming down (think it is about 1.3ish from the parking lot) and if you go straight there is a good view south/west, but the trail banged a hard right into the woods (and there is a blaze on a tree a short distance from there) but a spot where you can easily blow by the turn for a second. |

One at the summit (leashed) and was not a fan of me. :( |

Mosquitoes were annoying. |

 | Comments: |
Managed to get down just before the rain really hit. Solid views on the way up and at the top (Moose looks so close, but six miles seems so far). I didn't poke around too much, but I couldn't easily make out how to get to the tipping rock. The kilns were worth the detour. |
