About This Trail

Imported description
You can take the trail along the ridgeline to the North Peak. The views of the Shield and the North Peak can be seen along the way. You can take the Crest Trail back up to the ridgeline if you watch for a faint path to the west. You know you've reached the peak when you find a couple of old cement foundation blocks.
