Ascent Trip ReportI parked at the Richland Balsam lot and took the trail to the Richland Balsam summit. Just north of the summit, I turned off trail and found a game trail that ran northeast toward Lickstone Ridge. This game trail follows the ridgetop and put me on the Lickstone summit with ease. There is a tiny bald just south of the summit that offers some views westward. There is a bearing tree and a survey marker on top. |
