About This Trail

Imported description

This may be one of the easiest ways to check the Devil's Path Summit off the list, but it doesn't mean this hike is not strenuous. The old Dibble's quarry is located on the Pecoy Notch Trail, and it has a stream with waterfalls. There are nice views from the quarry. When you get to the Devil's Path, turn left. The Devil's Path is a challenging path with some steep scrambles, but only a small portion. There are some outstanding views from the summit. If you want to see more views, you can continue to the south summit.
