| Comments: |
We followed the blueblazed trail, which took us up onto the ridge near Lily pond, which has a spur trail and a trail around it. We took a trail north towards the peak until it was no longer directionaly useful and then we bushwhacked in very pleasant woods to the recognized highpoint of the main peak. We bushwhacked to the pond, reaching the ridge trail and using it to make some headway before bushwhacking to the recognized highpoint of the south peak. We returned to the pond and took the blue-blazzed trail down. |
