Ascent Trip ReportAfter Graham Mountain, I headed up this one via the Balsam Lake Mountain Trail. No views from the summit unless you ascend the fire tower. Plenty to see from near the top of the tower. I was up there as the sun was beginning to set. After heading down, I slept at the Balsam Lake Mtn Lean-to. The extra 400 ft ascent is heading back out to the Mill Brook Rd trailhead via the southern spur of the Balsam Lake Mtn trail to the Dry Brook Ridge Tr. Pics |
