The trail begins gradually along a wide and open path, turning at 0.3 miles into a steeper and narrower trail. After a short while the trail reaches the ridge and from there it gradually follows the ridgeline another half mile or so to the summit. At the summit, you will be able to climb the renovated fire tower to see the expansive views from the top. To see the remains of the observer’s cabin, you only have to travel another 150 feet past the fire tower – a find that is well worth exploring the summit to find!
