"Solo. Out & back. Temperatures in the 30’s and overcast. Parking was a bit strange as everything on the road was labeled private, with no real trailhead parking. Made the best of it and tucked myself out of the way as well as I could near the trail start. The trail starts on a road that is in use and heads to private properties, though it isn’t very well plowed. Shortly thereafter it hooks off into the woods and across a small and sturdy foot bridge. There are still hidden mud puddles under the snow to dip your feet into! Not quite snowshoe season, but close. The final small push to the summit was an interesting rock scramble that became quite narrow in one spot. The views were quite nice despite the cloud cover. The trailhead mileage is (probably) incorrect, I clocked 1.6mi whereas the sign reads 1.1. Nice little outing. Should’ve coupled it up with something else in the area as the drive was quite long to just bag this one peak. " — kellieirene • Nov 21, 2019

"I hiked up the Cable Line trail, TMT, K3 to West Tiger #2, then over on the road to West Tiger #1, back to #2, on to #3 and then down via the old Section Line and Nook Trails." — markgarrett • Nov 21, 2019

"Absolutely incredible views of well , everything. Perfect day, very windy at the top. No snow on trail, no ice on trail, trail muddy in spots. No problems with the road, a lower vehicle can do it with no issues ." — puddlepirate • Nov 20, 2019

"11.19.19....Charleston Peak #87 w/Karla (22nd in 2019) 9 miles, 4,000’ gain in 5:37hr. Ski Lee out and back. We started at 10:20am in mild weather. The route I took us on mostly protected us from the 40mph wind until the summit. After we descended, the Winter clouds devoured the mountain, the temps plummeted and it began to snow. It was near white out conditions on the most treacherous part but we made it safely down. Luckily the clouds lifted for the drive down the mountain. Today we experienced the final dry summit of the year and were there the moment Autumn snow arrived. It was so magical. I extracted every molecule of joy from this mountain this year. Thank you to all my friends who made Buddie memories with me and explored and showed me new routes. It was my most successful year in these mountains. Only 13 more to go to reach my goal of 💯. Goodbye.....for now...." — paula.raimondi • Nov 19, 2019

"Lousy day for a hike, but when the urge hits ya gotta go with it! Parked at the big lot off Rt. 9 & followed the white blazed trail 'til it intersected with the summit trail. The summit is totally wooded, so no views today with the weather. Maybe on a clear day you might get some glimpses between the trees. The actual ski area now long gone is on the other side of the road on the east flank of Mt. Olga." — billsussdorff • Nov 19, 2019
