We drove the road - no time for a long hike. Nice views. The building up top was open - uou could look inside. The tables seemed to be set, but no one was around. Spooky, man.
Climbed via the Blue Summit Trail from the Academy. Despite the respectable elevation gain this was a fairly easy hike. Nice views of the Green Mountains and Taconics from the summit hotel. Looked like it was going to rain for most of the day but it held off until we got back to the trailhead.
