This is a pristine AT forest...

This is a pristine AT forest view, heading up an incline on the trail. This marks the junction with the AT loop trail, where you can go back down to the AT, or continue on up to the summit. It also (unfortunately) represents the end of the class 2 rock climbing. Follow the blue marks. You are about 3 minutes from the summit at this point. You will find a nice viewpoint up this way, as well as the actual summit.
