The rugged quarter mile trail is marked by yellow markers. Three-fourths of the way up the mountain, the trail splits to the left where an easier but still rugged trail loops around to the summit. At the split in the trail one can continue straight up, climbing across an exposed ledge face. It is recommended that those that would like to go up the ledge face do so by going up it and take the loop back down. It is not recommended to come down the ledge face.
The surface of the trail is steep, with loose rocks and gravel. It is recommended that good foot wear is worn (no sandals or flip flops.) There is no source of drinking water available so one should bring plenty of water for the hike. Other things to bring on the hike, snacks, fly dope, binoculars, camera, and a cell phone to call for help if needed.
The views are spectacular and will not disappoint. Views of the surrounding area will include looks at Katahdin and the Scopan Lake Public Land Unit to the south-southwest. Wooded forest areas of the North Maine Woods to the west. Agricultural farm lands and communities to the north and east. Maine's first wind mill project located on Mars Hill mountain to the southeast. Aroostook State Park (Maine's first) looking east at the twin peaks of Quaggy Jo Mountain, left of the wind mills.
