Troop 1 camped at the nearby BSA camp.

One step at a time . . . yes it's hard work!

Magnificent views are the reward for the 17 scouts that made the climb.

Near the summit all the rock outcrops have glacial striations, which are scratches or small channels, gouged by glacial action. Bedrock, pebbles, and boulders may show striations produced when rocks trapped by ice were ground against bedrock or other rocks. Striations along bedrock surface are oriented in direction of ice flow across that surface. 

The view from the summit at 3,166 feet above sea level is well worth the three-hour hike. Also, this is a view to the west.

The view to the north from the summit was grand.

This is the view to the northeast from the summit.

After lunch, it was time to head back down.

Goodbye 'till next year.

Nature points us in the right direction, "This way down!"
