Comments
Comments: Starting after noon and working clockwise, I saw few hikers until the ledges. The clockwise direction means you wander sideways and downhill before working back up to the ledges. The ledges have amazing views leaving the summit views less impressive. I wasn't sure I was at the summit until the trail was clearly descending. The side jaunt up to Allen's ledge made up for it. Foliage was amazing and this was a great little hike!
