General Route Info |
Begin with an ascent of Cook Hill, making your way upward along an old logging road and do a quick out & back to tag Cook’s summit. Cook suffers the indignity of being labeled a “hill” on most maps, despite being taller than Dog Mt. by some 60ft. On returning to the main route, continue northwest along the ridge, passing the radio facility and picking up an unnamed trail that follows the ridge top over to the summit of Augspurger Peak. This route is not hiked often and is somewhat brushy. On Augspurger, celebrate your second summit of the day before locating the (mostly) well-maintained trail descending the south ridge. Return the ascent route. |
