Kent South Peak

Highlight • Summit

Some might call the hike to the summit a slog since you're mainly hiking through dense forest that can be muddy and buggy, depending on the season. However, once you reach the summit you'll be treated with amazing views across the mountains, valley, and lakes, weather permitting of course. The trails is open year round, but special equipment will be required if you're attempting a winter summit.
