About This Trail
It was a beautiful hike. It is definitely difficult on some parts. People arrive early. There are a couple of sections that are short but steep, but there are enough ridges and steps that are easy to navigate. There is a nice outcropping for sitting and taking in the views once you reach the knob. There is a plaque at the knob. The summit of this mountain is several yards beyond the knob.
