Moved by us on 6/03/03 (no hits)

Terrain Difficulty: EXTREME Some hiking across wet patches of land and washed out logging roads but the rest on upgoing easy paths through spruce and hemlock forests. Main assent is a very rocky trail.

Directions/Clues

Trail starts at the Slide Mountain trail head. (yellow markers)

Follow the trail for 1 mile past the "red marked" main ascent trail to Slide Mountain to catch the better way up via the Curtis & Ormsbee blue marked trail.


This Fall (2012) we will put a LB up there someplace. A plaque dedicated to John Burroughs, a great naturalist of the area is under the ledge.
