Great hike with a Big Bang for your buck. Beautiful view of Gore mountain. Moderate hike with some steep areas. The trailhead is down an unpaved road that is not always plowed in the winter. So better for summer or autumn hike

Start from the trailhead of pine brook road in Dresden NY - East shore of Lake George. This is a moderate hike 2.5 miles to the summit. Sweeping views of lake George and the high peaks. Starts out on a fire road and climbs very gradually. About 3/4 miles before the summit it becomes steep. In the winter snowshoeing or microspikes recommended.
