9 Am meet up at the tram parking lot to start off, this trail is rated moderate due to slippery gravel, but honestly this has been the easiest out of all the ones I have done. I enjoyed the pace, there was only one section which i slide on, and that was on the way down, wet rocks and sneakers, not so good of a mix. The views from Cannon are breath taking, but the trail itself isn't anything crazy to write about. This is 100 percently a great trail to take people new to hiking on. You get some amazing distance views as well as not alot of pressure on any part of the legs. No giant inclines that make you go this feels steep, the trail itself took us maybe an hour and a half and that was taking alot of time for pictures and small talk. I had great company in my friend Michelle who is working on the 48 herself, so knocking out one with her was a blast.

There are alot of little neat stop and view area's on the way up, great view of the pond, the parking lot and 93, plus pretty much every surrounding range in the distance. From Old man to the Summit, you climb over alot of muddy region, but nothing you need to worry about, step on the rocks, and branchs, and you are golden. The incline from the mud to the tower is very short, and I felt very good about it. You have a killer view as you go up looking down on everything.

Finally the "peak" label is behind roped off area, but its two steps in you can see, it and walk to it, which makes this hike done! A great time, I would say anyone starting off should consider this as a knock out first timer. As always keep on walking...
If you take anything away from this post...i want you to take this away with you....best bench ever...
