Absolutely fantastic hike! At nearly every turn there is another beautiful vista and/or another perspective of the surrounding area. Thanks to WTA for the work done on the approach to the stream! Much easier to find where to cross than before. No bridge to cross the stream yet… we did find out that our hiking boots are mostly water resistant.
On the day we hiked there were four fallen trees to navigate over up to the mosquito pond at about 1.63 miles. There were another four fallen trees after the mosquito pond up to the knob area. None were too difficult to navigate over or under.
Very few bugs. Be sure to bring sunscreen when it is a sunny day. The area of the knob can have a cool breeze even on a sunny day. Being layered really helped.
We started at 11:00 on a beautiful Friday. Started down at 1:00 pm. We encountered one or two others in the morning yet quite a few in the later afternoon. Earlier in the day seems to be better to avoid a group.
Just an outstanding hike. We look forward to taking this hike again!
