A group of us planned this hike one year for a New Year eve hike. I
don't think any of us made the true summit. I realized this when I hiked
this as I went a lot further than we did that night.
It's a mostly moderate, 1.2 mile hike to the first summit. It begins at
a moderate grade as it passes under a power line, then there's a
continuous climb over switchbacks for 0.8 mile, where the Beede Farm
Trail comes in on the left. Going straight and work your way up a few
steep steps to the first open rock. This first lookout is not the summit
— that's a bit farther along the ridge. Past the summit, a lesser-used
trail descends to Beede Road in Keene Valley.
2.4 miles round trip
770 feet of elevation gain
