CAUTION:
There is a rock/land slide warning for this trail. Near the halfway mark there is a narrow rocky trail hugging the mountain side. The trail is rocky making it slippery and the rock on the mountain is loose and difficult to grab. If anyone wants to hike this trail I'd recommend not hiking solo in case of any endangering situations and also using trekking poles.
We made it 2/3 of the way across and decided to turn back due to the dangerous conditions. Although there is a look out at Crescent Lake when you get to the 1/2 way point and assumingly on the peak as well. Along the trail there were fallen trees making it pretty difficult to cross. This trail at the start is good but not very well kept. Probably hadn't been trekked in some time. There is also fall foliage and a nice shady hike which is good since today was a hot and in the 80s.
The trail has some nice plants called the "Ghost Plant" or "Indian Pipe" (Monotropa Uniflora) They are really cool plants that grow by taking the nutrients from trees roots since they can't perform photosynthesis. I wouldn't really recommend this trail because of that section but if you really want to check it out it's nice.
