Comments
Comments: Relatively easy bushwhack from the height of land on Mt Kineo Trail. Mostly open or moderate woods. Plenty of herd paths, especially on the southern side of the summit cone, approaching from the east. About 1.2 mi on trail and 1 mi off trail to the summit. 4.4 mi, +1,400', under 2 hours.
