My brother and his wife and I hiked Pleasant Mountain Saturday of Memorial weekend. The weather reports said it might shower in the morning, but would gradually turn sunny.
Since we weren't in a hurry to get started, we waited until a little later in the day to hike; we started hiking just after noon.
The trail was fairly easy for most of the hike. Even with the large amounts of rain we've had recently, we didn't encounter very much mud. Mostly the hike was a very gradual climb, so we didn't need to stop for rest very often, and made good time to the peak - less than two hours.
If you are looking for a well blazed trail, this is not it. We saw a grand total of maybe three or four blue blazes on trees, and mostly those occurred in places where it was obvious where we should go.
There are several "forks" in the trail, and most of these forks are unmarked. One fork was marked with a sign that was hidden under some branches - we didn't see it (more...)

We just got off the mountain about 45 minutes ago. The way up is pretty intense. we took the trail from fire lane 54. It starts off very easy, untill you get about half way. it becomes wicked steep. The entire hike took about 1 hr, but you get some breath taking views along the way. I wouldent waste the energy going to the top, because the view is much better about half way. at the top you are staring at the back side of another mountain, and all the other mountains are almost invisible even when its sunny. the elevation is 2006 vert ft, but you only climb 1600 ft. The tower is not for the public, its a fire tower and its all boarded up. Alltogether, they would be a very nice hike for fit and expierenced hikers, and i would NOT reccommend bringing kids under 10 (more...)
