"This hike was tricky. Got up to what we thought was the summit (the 2nd outlook you hit), but it seemed way too fast. Located a trail sign that indicated we hadn't gone far enough. Continued on the trail and consulted the internet and figured out that we needed to keep going. Eventually found the trail to the West summit, which is the highest point. The summit was ok, but the other peak we were on had a much better view of Mirror Lake and Ragged Mountain. We got great views from there. As we hiked back from the true summit, we took an unmarked trail that brought us back to the first outlook, but it was so quick that we didnt realize we walked right past the trail down, and got halfway to the 2nd outlook before we realized our mistake and turned around. The weather turned bad on our hike out. Much colder and icy snow. Still a great hike. " — mikewilliamsjr • Nov 12, 2019

"Great hike, must have spectacular views on a good day. It was windy and foggy for us. Definitely a little scary coming down on the icy conditions. Great open summit, though we saw nothing until part way down when the fog bank lifted away so we could see nearby Ragged Mt." — mikewilliamsjr • Nov 12, 2019

"Pretty easy hike through the preserve up multiple switchbacks. When you reach the end of the mapped area, there's what should be a great outlook, but it was nasty weather and completely socked in, so we never saw anything. There's a very clearly defined trail that leads further on to the true summit and a radio tower." — mikewilliamsjr • Nov 12, 2019

"A nice easy hike to end the day. Weather was lousy, views were poor. Easy enough hike, cool stone hut at the top. Probably a great spot on a nice day with (I'm assuming) good views of the coast. " — mikewilliamsjr • Nov 12, 2019

"Red eye overnight to Boston and the long drive north in order to hike the west ridge in time for sunset. Route was more scrambling than I expected although a bit sketchy in spots where the slabs were wet. " — Christopher • Oct 16, 2019
