The views from the top make it all worth it in the end after the hike. The hike was 2.5 miles one way and it took us around 2hrs with stops. We had taken the short path for this hike via shelving rock road. Parking is extremely limited and the trail starts from the parking lot. We had taken water bottles and Gatorade but now looking back I guess water was enough. The hike is moderate and I'd suggest proper boots for this hike. It isn't slippery while climbing but the descend gets tougher if you don't have the proper gear. One slip and you may loose a few teeth. The trail is well marked and you would see plenty of people along the way to guide you. The summit is breathtaking and you could see lake George in all its beauty. Overall, I'd suggest anyone who loves to hike to give this a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

We loved this hike! We had limited time to make it up and back down so we were really hurrying. It gets pretty steep in some spots but it's well worth the hike. I would have loved if we could have taken our time to slowly hike to the top. Going quickly was definitely a challenge. Once you get to the top, you don't want to come back down! The views are amazing and it's very peaceful up there. I could have relaxed for hours. Sadly, we had to come back down. Well worth the hike! Pictures don't do this beauty any justice. read more

Really enjoyed my hike here! It was about 3 hours round trip. Enjoyed that there was a large parking lot out in front. The trail is well marked and very pleasant, although tough and steep at points. Highly recommend doing this alone or with a group of friends! Gorgeous view at the top. read more
