Nice hike to a summit with a view from the fire tower. Sometimes it’s over grown. The summit is completely covered in shattered glass so bring a bag and pick some up while you are there! Also be cautious with your dog(literally every square foot of the summit has glass bottles smashed on it). Respect the private land so we retain access.
