views with the call of Loons into the night. On day 2, I continue my walk along Pharaoh Lake and the other small ponds, Grizzle Ocean and Clear Ponds and along the way choose a tent site near the Treadway Mountain Trail and set up a base camp before taking an afternoon hike up Treadw...
This is a dual direction trail and is the best route for climbing to the top of the hill. Starting from the Butchers Dam carpark, cross the dam and head south. A poled track starts climbing behind the trees at Lye Bow. Cross the haul road and follow the blue/orange markers up the h...

Dirt/Forest Floor, Rock/Ledge Pets Permitted Fees No Description The rugged quarter mile trail is marked by yellow markers. Three-fourths of the way up the mountain, the trail splits to the left where an easier but still rugged trail loops around to the summit. At the split in the trail...
