"Hiked this with my wife, 3 year old and 5 year old. Not too crowded today. Very easy hike with great views from the fire tower. No views from summit without climbing fire tower. Outhouse at start of trail. - nowhere to stop within about 45 minutes from trailhead. " — jan2ny • Sep 8, 2020
"Followed the yellow trail up from route 28. Alanna and I both completed the trifecta that day at 12:39pm. Took 3.5hrs round trip because I had her do a scavenger hunt along the way." — kaytt987 • Sep 4, 2020
"A great hike, the best hike of the 3 mountains near Old Forge and Inlet. This is rated as the tallest of the 3 Fulton Chain. If you hiked Bald Mountain and are looking for a better challenge, hike black Bear and take the blue trail at the split, it is a little tricky if you have young ones. However you can continue straight on the yellow trail and it loops around to the summit. " — alexreiff • Jul 26, 2020
"1hr and 15 min round trip hike plus time at top. 3 year old and 5year old did great on their 7th mountain of the summer. Wild blueberries at the top were just getting ripe. Able to eat a few. Very steep! But no whining from the kids!" — jan2ny • Jul 21, 2020
"Took my daughter Alexis out for our first hike of the year. No bugs. Signed the register at 9:30am and only one other vehicle there before us. Full lot by the time we got back down at 11:30am. " — cmarion1979 • Jun 12, 2020
