February 4, 2021January 22, 2021January 13, 2021January 6, 2021Fun hike with a good variety of terrain. Although icey, Karah and I took our time and hiked without issue without spikes or snowshoes. Be wary of icey conditions before future trips. This mountain was highly trafficked. It was busy for a cool January day. Not the most secluded summit, but a beautiful one, for sure. We ascended the Midstate, northbound, then returned south on a trail marked with blue arrows that led back to the parking lot. Favorite Spots: 1.) At the base of Watatic, a bridge made of wooden planks spans a stream. Very fun to traverse. 2.) Summit (obviously). 3.) Heading north on the midstate, the roots of trees protrude like a staircase. Cool to walk up and helpful while ascending.

October 20, 2020Great hike for older dogs....don’t forget to keep going to the second peak!
October 19, 2020Amazing views! Easy hike
October 18, 2020A little wet from the rain the last 2 days but not slippery: pretty crowded. Had to park across the street but everyone was polite and following social distancing.
October 18, 2020Main Parking lot was full so we drove down the street to other parking spots. It was a power line trail.....very steep....straight up to the top in about 25 minutes. Went back down the regular way and walked back on the road.
October 15, 2020October 15, 2020Beautiful foliage and views (especially the 2nd peak), just challenging enough but doable for older dog.
October 14, 2020October 12, 2020Nice easy hike to do with a group! Great foliage along the trail right now.
