"Having just completed our High Point ascent, my pup and I headed down route 23 South to rt.519 to Nielson Road to Crigger Road in Wantage. I drove up to the Dead End of Crigger Road where a woods road leads up to the Appalachian Trail. The woods road was a wide, rocky incline of just over a quarter mile, slightly steep in the beginning, but not too bad. We made a left at the T-intersection with the Appalachian Trail. That segment of the trail, a gradual incline of three quarters of a mile, was a combination of smooth compressed dirt and rocky sections. We were at the summit in about half an hour. Again, the overcast skies put a damper on what would have been a magnificent view from the summit and the large pavilion there. A few pictures and videos were taken; we had a snack and some water before backtracking to the car. After a few hundred feet, we came upon a nice rock ledge just off the trail to the east that offered a beautiful view. We continued on, and after about ten minutes, as luck would have it, the sun started breaking through the clouds. I contemplated going back up for some better pictures, but my already sore old legs dissuaded me from doing so. " — michaelzandonella • Sep 22, 2025

"Started at Stony Lake and hiked Tower Trail up to AT, then AT along the ridge to Sunrise Mountain, took Blue Mountain connector down to Blue Mountain, to Tinsley, and from Tinsley hiked back to where I was staying. Of note, I had an up close encounter with a porcupine just below the summit of Culver’s Ridge!" — bruno-osb • Oct 9, 2021
