Lots of smaller blow downs on this little used approach but all were easily walked around, over, or through. |

I brought my one year old lab who loved this water-filled route. Stream was full up to 3500 ft! |

 | Comments: |
At 12.1 miles RT this is not a route most people take to Whiteface. However I was rewarded with a very gradual approach and zero other hikers encountered until I got to the top. Highly recommended slightly longer approach from the north. Follows the brook almost the entire way. |
