Watch for a short access road on the left to the small parking area.

Start your hike by walking behind the kiosk and getting on the yellow blazed trail. After about .55 miles the slope increases slightly and increases again at .75 miles. After about 1.3 miles, you are at the summit. There isn’t much to see from clearing at the summit unless you climb the fire tower which has some nice views. After taking in the views and visiting the small observer’s cabin, reverse your route back to the parking area.

Begin your hike at the sign at the back right corner of the parking area. The trail has many stone steps and passes between some large rocks in several paces. There are a few switchbacks along the way to keep the overall grade of the ascent 10% to the trail junction. The trail passes through some evergreens and then the woods change to hardwoods and back again. At 1.3 miles the trail intersects the trail that comes from the Dinch Road trailhead. Turn right and start a steeper ascent. Over the next .6 miles to the summit and fire tower the trail gains over 450 feet at a 16% average grade. The summit has a cabin, privy and, of course, the fire tower. There is no view from the summit unless you climb the fire tower. When thou are done at the summit, turn around and retrace your steps back to the car.
