| Directions: | From Old Forge: Drive north on Route 28, approximately 3 miles from the Visitor Info Center you will pass Hollywood Road on the right. Immediately after that is a dirt pullout on the right for parking. Walk across the street to the snowmobile trail, take the left fork up the hill past the sign that says "Danger, Curves" etc. Turn right off the trail at the posted signs onto a small foot trail. Follow the posted signs and the trail to a boulder scramble up to the foot of the leftmost route at Bald Mt. |
