Features: Note the Juniper trees near the summit.
There are scratch lines in the bedrock in the road below the summit.
Rocks embedded in the bottom of glaciers formed the scratches about
12,000 years ago. Take a map, you'll want to identify all the landmarks
you can see from the top. Best to leave your dogs at home - after
all, it is private land. |
Trail follows old road to the top of the hill.
Relay towers are at the summit.  |
