Very nice hike up Rogers Ledge via Kilkenny Ridge Trail. We bushwhacked to get to North Peak. We saw in a trail report here that the canister was missing, but there was a red paracord left around a tree on the highest point. We found it, it was still there! There was a nice view on top of North Peak's cliff, near the summit. After the short bushwhack, we took plenty of time on Rogers Ledge's summit! The views were absolutely gorgeous with the fall foliage! After a long break on top, we did the Devil's Hopyard trail since it's part of the Terrifying 25 list. Nothing very terrifying there, except for slippery rocks and deep holes. It was fun, though! |
