Ascent Trip ReportHiked up the pathway from Summit PA. Balsam forest smelled great and the views were extensive. Took the Balsam Nature Trail back down to the PA and enjoyed interesting rock formations along the way. Touristy summit for sure, would like to go back and explore the trails in the area more.
