From the viewpoint at 2.3 miles, the path up the mountain becomes clear: through the steep, rocky gully to the summit. This viewpoint is a popular spot to turn around for a shorter half-day hike.

Seen from the 2.3-mile viewpoint, dozens of hikers can be seen ascending the gully.

After the rocky, steep part of the gully, the trail flattens slightly and leads straight to the summit on mellower terrain.

It's important to have experience finding poorly marked trails. Here, the only trail sign along the entire Bakeapple Pond extension marks the trail. In many places, the trail is less obvious than in this photo.
