Bears have been sighted up there, some of the rocks may look dry but could be wet and slipery, these rocks can ne avoided.
The white-blazed trail starts on the southern edge of the parking lot.At first, the trail is relatively level.Soon, the trail starts picking up ground, fast transforming your kike into a full-scale ascent.As the forest opens to your left to a rocky ravine, follow carefully for the white blazes. At one point, the trail veers to the right, in a rocky climb, while the obvious trail (unmarked from now on) goes straight. The turn is indicated by a sign on a large boulder, where the white blazes lack in contrast. It is very easy to follow the wrong trail here, so as soon as you loose the white blazes, go back. The unmarked trail ends within a mile at a "No Trespassing" sign, at a woods road that you will cross two more times.The Trail veers to the right just after a tree covered with fungi.As you climb up the rocks, be careful. Many of these rocks are loose, and the trail is very narrow.At several places, you will be able to spy a decent view to the east, but the views are inferior to those you can see elsewhere. As you continue, the trail will level off, reenter the forest and then start a long descent.Safety tipsThis is a very new trail, only five years old. Because of that, it has not been worn down yet. Parts of the trail are on loose rocks, others are on sloped bedrock. The lichen on the bedrock makes the rocks look dry, even if they are wet and slippery as ice. We have changed the coordinates for the second stage of the caches by taking an average.
