We hiked this in late August, 2006. There were 11 of us in all. We left Kingfield about 7:20, and we hit the trail head at 8:30 am. We spent some time at Snow Mountain Pond - it's beautiful there, and worth some time. Be aware that parts of the trail up to this point, and for maybe 1/2 mile further, were rather wet and muddy. This makes me believe that doing this hike in the spring would be harder with spring rains.
Once you leave the pond, you continue on the ATV trail for perhaps 1/4 mile (I didn't measure it, so this is just a guess). The ATV trail continues straight, but you need to turn off onto the trail to the right to head up the mountain. If you are not paying attention, it is easy to miss it.
I was hoping that the fire tower at the peak was intact. I had pictures from another website from a couple years earlier showing the intact fire tower. Unfortunately, the cabin of the tower is now in a heap behind the tower. There is a very limited view (more...)
