I did this one as a doubleheader with North Percy in the morning. I'd never done both of these hikes on the same day. Ooof.
I love the summit of this peak but wish there were another way to get there. If you've hiked this hill then you know -- straight up steep for two miles with no breaks.
On top I was greeted by the resident cast iron stove which was filled with rocks. The summit sign has also been moved to a different tree. I presume this was done to make it more visible when entering onto the summit ledges.
As was the case on North Percy, views were spectacular due to the clear air. Felt like I could reach out and touch the Mahoosucs. |
