Got to the trailhead at the North Mountain visitor center a little before 7am hoping to beat the crowds. For the most part I did. I took a newer trail from the visitor center that followed along 7th street and met up with trail 101 at a saddle. From there it was simply follow the trail to the road and then up the road to the antenna farm at the top. Weather was nice and not too crowded. Once at the top, I followed trail 44 along the ridge for about 500 ft. until it intersected a trail to the right that lead down to the west where it joined with trail 100. From there, it was a quick hike back to the visitor center. The track on this log was from a new US Topo app install on my phone and for some reason it didn't start recording until I hit the paved road. I'm still looking for a good trail/GPS app for the phone. But not bad for the first trial of the app.
