Hike directions: Ashokan High Point

Notes:
Nice hike. This hike is known to have a lot of bees, so this time of year seems appropriate to hike it. We encountered snow near the summit. This is a lollipop hike. Up until the loop, the hike is very gradual. Once you hit the loop, the incline gets steeper. We found the descent from the summit harder (wet leaves & snow made for a slippery descent). We will have to do this again sometime. We didn't have time to explore the meadow area or look for the plane crash site

The hike starts out on a woods road

The trail splits - it is a loop. To the right is the shorter approach to the summit.

Old graffiti at the summit

Meadow just past the summit

Great mountain views from the meadow - low hanging clouds
