Check out this 4-mile trail to a beautiful summit with a fire tower. The trail is a moderate winter hike that gradually gains 1000 feet of elevation, with only a few steep sections. The trail leads to a small rocky summit with a fire tower that provides a stunning 360-degree view of the High Peaks to the north and dozens of smaller mountains and lakes to the south. This is a stunning winter hike!
