Club last hiked this:

We tread lightly in the footsteps of HTMC hikers who have gone before us, as this 4000’ ascent takes us through a landscape that transitions from pastureland to pristine native vegetation. This trail traverses sections with steep drop-offs and requires caution. First hiked by HTMC on July 24, 1920
