September 29, 2026 — I actually did this hike two days in a row, using it as a low-commitment hike on each day to test the cloud ceiling and visibility. On the first day, the conditions were completely socked in, with visibility not much more than a few hundred feet. I made the most of the conditions, doing some woodland photography and even a fun little photoshoot of myself. On the second day, the visibility was much better, with really cool fog lingering over some of the nearby High Peaks, such as Cascade and Porter. The trail itself is located on private property, though it is open to the public Monday through Thursday. It is a very straightforward and quick Class 1 jaunt up to the summit, with a few overlooks available along the way and up along the rocky summit. I had a tough time deciding which photos I liked best, so I probably put a few too many here.
