"Hiked Old Mitchell Trail from park restaurant. As we hiked higher, the forest got denser, but after passing trail high point, a clearing with short, young trees and obvious ad hoc trails made for an easy bushwhack to the peak. Trails are soft soil with some rocks and roots. " — davidensley • Nov 21, 2020
