    Great hike on a perfect day. Views from the top are some of the best in the ADK. The last 1.3 miles were steep with rock scrabbles and some climbing but totally worth it. It’s a popular hike so there were a lot of people at the top and on the trail.

Pretty flat to begin with then once you started elevation gain, it’s pretty steady climbing all the way to top. On top approach there’s some bouldering as well!! Challenging but well worth, rewarding views!!
