February 28, 2021Beautiful. Tough going down in the snow. Good work out. 3.2 miles according to my watch gps
February 27, 2021First .9 mile is very easy, spikes work well until the last .1 mile,needs snowshoes . Very windy at the summit. No view because it’s a rainy day, would love to return on a clear day

February 14, 2021February 14, 2021Good beginner/intermediate winter hike. Spikes are highly recommended, especially in the last .25 mile. Pretty quiet except for all the snowmobiles. Take the summit loop - best views are on the shorter trail!
February 7, 2021Great winter hike today
January 29, 2021January 27, 2021What a sweet little hike on a fresh fallen snow. Heck of a lot of beauty to be enjoyed well south of Keene Valley.
January 18, 2021awesome trail for a winter hike, great view, nice and easy.
January 1, 2021Great! A very well marked and maintained trail. Beautiful views from the ledge.
December 26, 2020Crunchy snow. Few icy patches. Lovely day.
December 26, 2020Great trail with a little ice (it’s winter duh) but fantastic views at the top. Easy hike with a few rocks at the top.
December 20, 2020Broke the trail out the other day. Don’t need to be worried about mud or ice for a little while. At the moment, conditions are deep fluffy snow.
December 15, 2020November 29, 2020some mud at the bottom and slippery rocks on the scrambles.
November 24, 2020November 21, 2020November 21, 2020November 18, 2020Beautiful hike as always. A little Ivey some spots. Spikes not needed
November 14, 2020great scenery. not dog friendly bc of steep inclines. Slippery moss near the peak - hiking poles suggested.
November 14, 2020November 14, 2020Lovely hike. Moderate and mostly flat until the top. Pretty views!
November 7, 2020Great fall hike.
October 27, 2020Love this trail. Starts out very easy, but it is a steady climb to the top. I would put it on the harder side of moderate. There is a good amount of scrambling and steep switchbacks in the top third of the climb. It rained all day yesterday so some parts were slippery. Views were great. The trail is well marked and maintained. There were two volunteers working on the trail at the top. I made the hike longer by taking the red trail nature path on the way back down. It meets back up with the blue trail and back down to the parking lot.
October 18, 2020Great trail!
October 17, 2020Large parking lot, picnic tables, even a porta potty. Lots of cars, thankfully trail didn't seem that busy. Marked well, some up, great views from the overlook! Enjoyed the nature trail also!
October 14, 2020the beginning of this trail will pull you into a false sense of security. it's gets tough near the end. but me and the dog loved climbing up and down the rocks. worth the view.
