Local favorite, and popular even in the winter with right gear, spikes, etc. The trail is steep but there are little rest spots. Amazing views at multiple locations. The top is exposed and gets very windy at times.

      		 Beavers built a dam next to the pond and the trail is 3' under water. Stay right to below the dam and rejoin the trail on the other side.
