Features Birding · Views · Wildlife

This trail follows (some) blue blazes. This trail starts off on a steep little rocky section off the Money Brook Trail. It makes its way over a rocky scramble below some schist walls. It ascends, steeply, towards the ridge. Please use extreme caution when traveling during snowy or icy conditions.

Once the trail reaches the ridge, it turns right to follow the ridgeline. Shortly after passing a view (on the left), the trail reaches the South Peak. There is a pile of rocks that marks the South Peak. From here, the trail traverses moderately over the schist ridgeline. It passes by the unmarked summit of the North Peak, and ends at the view off the AT.

Flora: Eastern Hemlock, Oak, Beech.
