| Hike Summary: | Trail is a fairly moderate hike. Going up along roots, etc. Trail down travels .8 miles along the top of the mountain with gradual decent. Then the next ~.6 mile is down. Includes some railings built into the trail so you do not fall off the trail. Beautiful scene of Jordan Pond area. |
