| Redwic | No more 1/2-mile hike... | |
Hasn't voted | The "fairly wide level trail" leading 1/2-mile from the parking lot to the summit has changed. The 1/2-mile jaunt is a drivable unpaved road leading to an open parking area next to the summit entrance... A person only needs to walk about 40 feet into the trees to reach the summit, now, with no elevation gain on foot. (On my personal list of Difficulty Ranks for State HPs, I am dropping the difficulty of this HP from #24 to #47, as a result of this route update...) | |

Hasn't voted | This is very interesting news...I was up there last year and it was still very much a trail. Can't say I'm happy about the change... | |

Voted 10/10 | I was just there on July 25th, the road is not drivable unless you have a 4 wheel drive with high tires to get over the blockades they have up. | |

| Redwic | No reference to "Church Road"... | |
Hasn't voted | "Church Road" is not referenced on any street sign. The street sign says "Roland Lake Road", and a small church is located at that street corner. | |

Voted 10/10 | Article states there is no view from the top. That has changed, they have cleared trees and there is now a short path from the summit with an nice overlook. | |

| dwhike | Re: view | |
Hasn't voted | Thanks!! I had asked around about mysterious reports of a view but received no response. I'll make the update as soon as I have time. Out of curiosity what direction does the overlook face (i.e. Lake Superior or the Huron Mountains)? If you have any pics they'd be more than welcome! Regards, Dan | |
