Description

This is a beautiful trail that ascends above the treeline with gorgeous views of Underhill State Park. The trail begins right away with a steep grade that will continue for the duration of the trail. Some scrambling will be required when reaching higher elevations. This trail is very difficult and ascends quickly, but is well worth the effort.
