What's new: mushrooms are popping up and the fall foliage is starting to show.
What's the same: The trail signage is poor. The parking lot and trail had plenty of space even though it was a sunny weekend day. Most of the hike is a steady climb through healthy forest. The views don't come until near the summit. A few sections of trail are overgrown. This is most significant after a rain or a heavy dew overnight. (I wish I had brought a cutlass.) Long sections of the trail are very rocky. Like most of the hikes leading away from I-90, there is the hum of highway noise for the first couple of miles.
