About This Trail

Imported description

The hike has great High Peaks views, elevation gain, rock scrambling, and a well marked trail. The Brothers Path is a rocky ridge for a short time. Then the climb to Big Slide Peak. It's a staple in the High Peaks area. On weekends, parking will be full and hikers will need to pay for a shuttle. It's worth the cost to get a parking space.
