Tremper Mountain is also a great place to snowshoe. The easy ascent and descent are perfect for newer snowshoers. Trail is usually broken in soon after a snowfall.

Not the most interesting hiking trail but the view from the fire tower is absolutely spectacular

Easy to moderate hike. The forest is simply lovely on the way up to Tremper. Classic Northern Hardwoods. Lots of songbirds. Not much water along the trail but it’s short so it’s not a big deal. Fire tower closed due to pandemic, views were very limited along the trail. A great beginner hike, especially for forest lovers.
