Wow! Did this hike exceed my expectations. The trail we took over the Brothers was such a good way to go and I suggest it anyone looking to hike Big Slide Mountain. There were so many outlooks, and we kept thinking, "Ok, this must be brother #2?" and then a bigger and better view would come about when we hiked just a tad further! And Big Slide was rather big. There was a small area to hangout at the summit but enough to chill out and catch a view while eating lunch and relaxing before descending. Once again, we met some really nice hikers at the top who had come up another way. We had a good hike down, and ended some in the dark on Lake Road back to our car but by that point it was a straight shoot.
