Trail is great!! Great condition and beautiful sights.
A relatively easy hike in on the old ATV/logging trail and then you'll need to pay close attention to the sparsely placed orange markers to reach the summit. at the summit you are rewarded with a fantastic view of the surrounding area. Recommend you use your GPS to navigate the last 600 meters to ensure you don't take a wrong turn but otherwise it's an easy trail to hike. Expect about 30mins to hike in and out, plus whatever time you spent at the summit.
The trail starts on an open road / ATV trail before veering into the woods. Lots of horse flies and mosquitoes with occasional teens on dirt bikes. The place where you need to go into the woods is clearly marked with orange tape in the trees but no signage. Once in the woods you need to watch for the orange tape in the branches to stay on the right path. Towards the end we went the wrong way and never made it to the view. Even on the way out I couldn’t find the path we should have taken. We took our dog on leash and had no issues except for a fast stream where you had to cross on fallen trees lashed together. My Golden wouldn’t do it and instead crashed through the water in the rocks. Better markings and seeing the view could have raised this to 4 stars. I don’t think we’ll try this one again.
Beautiful view at the top
Sort of boring hike until you get off logging road which is also used by ATVs. Nice view on bedrock top at the end though.
