Nancy Miner and Chris Ashley enjoying the view from the summit. This is a very short hike that brings you to excellent views after about 45 minutes of climbing. The drawback is that it’s a very steep climb near the top. The trail is narrow and mostly hard packed dirt, there’s just enough flagging to keep you going in the right direction. The trail starts in Buck Pond Campground (off Rte 30 in Onchiota), it branches off the old railway bed trail that runs past Lake Kushaqua.
