Tips:

• The trail is on AT&T property, but still do-able. When you get to the trailhead, you’ll want to call the listed number on the fence and let them know when you check in and check out.
• Once you start climbing, you may see a few different forks head up the hill; take the most trodden path but don’t worry if you get on a side path, they will eventually converge.
• Try to go on a sunny day, the views at the top are simply stunning.
