A short but rewarding ascent in the Adirondack backcountry, this yellow-blazed trail climbs just over a kilometer to what is reported to be one of the region's more dramatic overlooks. Maintained by the Adirondack Trail Improvement Society, the route rises steadily through mixed forest before emerging onto open ledges that are said to offer sweeping views across the surrounding lakes and peaks. Though brief in distance, the trail's steep pitch and exposed summit make it a popular objective for those seeking substantial rewards from a compact outing.
