 | Comments: |
As others have said, fair amount of mud on the trail especially above about 2200' when there is also some standing and running water the rest of the way until just before the last pitch to the summit. Trail starts out with more roots than rocks but above about 2200' it changes to more rocks and boulders- nothing challenging, just tougher footing especially given how wet the trail was. Spur to North summit is quite muddy as well. Decent views from summit, particularly the north summit which is only about 0.4 mi. from south summit and worth the trip for better views north. AllTrails and Gaia say trail from south summit to spur is an extension of KodAk Trail and it becomes Mount Cube Trail when spur turns off to the left. WMG says trail from south summit to spur is Mt. Cube Trail, not KodAk. |
