Ascent Trip ReportA nice hike once we got on to the NP trails but we bushwhacked to get to the NP trails as shown on the GPS route. See TR for Little Bald Mtn. David and I had a nice hike and did see one couple on the trail once we got to the NP. No real views on this "peak" but some very interesting mushrooms and nice open trails. |
