A tough, rugged, remote circuit that is pretty well kept given the location. Plenty of water along the way (although it has rained quite often) and well-marked. The only views were glimpses through the trees of Big and Little House Mountains off in the distance toward and beyond Lexington. Very steep toward Wildcat Mountain peak. Went off trail to bag Ghost Pipe Know and trudged through thick brush. Probably not worth it. Be absolutely sure to have a GPS device or compass.
