| no partners | | After a Tammany Loop hike I came here to take in a real summit. Not so much one for AZ, but for NJ, this is a real summit with nearly 360 degree views. I was very pleased.
I summited via the Garvey Springs Trail and the Appalachian Trail, and will write a description as soon as I can.
I skipped the longer option going past Sunfish Lake. Out and back on the same route, which was fine.
Compared to Tammany, there is no one here.
Locals told me this is probably the nicest true summit in the area, and they reported cutting brush near the top to keep the summit views open. Very nice.
Hopefully not as humid for my next visit. The state HP was visible, and on a good day the Catskills are reported to be visible. With all the humidity, they were not. Camelback was visible. Camelback, PA, that is. There is a ski resort there.
Mosquitoes were bad in parts of the ridge, especially near the lone water crossing. |
