Comments
Comments: Since we went to White Cap last weekend I knew my way to get to Wiggle Brook Road. The next 4.6 miles to get to the trailhead was good driving on a recently repaired road. From where we parked it was obvious to continue to hike the path up the grassy road. The beginning is muddy and moose like it here. We followed the path all the way to the summit. Pink ribbons and rock cairns and a well worn path made for a crazy easy summit. Other than the wet grass soaking our feet it was swell. This time of year the pricker bushes have died off and weren't an issue.
