Description

This is a steep, hard, and narrow trail to hike. In many places the tread of the trail is sloughing causing the trail to creep. The tread is soft in many places causing collapsing of edges. There are a couple of places up on the ridge where the view is spectacular, allowing a great view of Orleans. This is a "dry” hike. A hiker will not find any water or creeks after passing Somes Creek at the beginning of the trail.
