We Made It To The Top!

Three miles, that's all it is from the parking lot (elev. 1,650') to the summit of Saddle Mountain (elev. 3,283'). The trip to the top isn't an everyday stroll through the woods. We were ready for whatever it took to get to the top of Saddle Mountain.

The trail is smooth to start out, but then we had to hike through some rough terrain and up some steep grades, which made for interesting climbing. Even though there were clouds and fog, it was a great experience!

Here are Rocke, Sylvia, Michael and I.standing in front of the railing the state had put up to keep people from wanding down on the steep mountain side. It is very steep and it would be easy for people to lose their balance and end up down at the bottom . . . a long way down!.
