Itinerary description

Parking is available at Speck Pond. From there you walk a bit on the side of hw 285, keeping an eye on the west side of the road to find the entrance. Very well maintained trail, I just turned back because I did not really plan for a long hike, so I only carried water and a couple energy bars.

There is an annoyingly high amount of spiders with webs at face height, so beware.
