"Solo. Parked in the AT lot just south of the visitor center for the park as I had read there was a time limit in that lot.

"Hiked with the afternoon group to the summit of Jennings Mountain. We took the woods fire road into the park, skirting around the ledges on the eastern side of the hill (which I did not feel comfortable negotiating while tethered to four big dogs), then whacked up and south along the ridge to the summit area.
