| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We parked at the Railroad St./Church St. parking lot and walked up to Promenade St., took a right past the cemetary, into the sand pit..trail sign missing..if you know where the trail started it's easy to find, if not just take the snowmachine trail, past a large pile of asphalt, which comes out right where the Pine Mt. Trail diverges off the pipeline..so it's a bypass of the first part of trail.. |

Beautiful view day on Pine Mt. The gravel pit most likely is not the greatest place to have the start of this trail, so just wondering if the trailhead will be moved in the near future...there were patches of frozen snow and spots where the sun was softening the snow up on the way down..we were able to bare boot entire hike, though some might prefer spikes, especially on the last section of Pine Mt. Trail..we made it over to the south ledges of course... |
