| Comments: |
this was a much tougher trip to success than from success pond rd. the wetness including some ice and fallen leaves made for hard work. however, it is scenic with great views up top. I met 6 hikers on the summit who were headed for the plane crash site. there is a herd path south below the summit. it is quite a scene, and i'm glad I went along. the trip down was made tougher with the wetness and slickness. I met 2 northbounders who are running out of time. I hope the are successful. this was a good but tough hike. |
