Giving props to Hops

Hopkins that is ... which is the moutain that Howie and I climbed today ... the last day of summer.
We took the Mossy Cascade trail which followed along a brook with, oddly enough, mossy rocks and small cascades. There was also a short path to a small waterfall (about 30 to 40 feet high).
We had the open and rocky summit to ourselves. The view included many of the high peaks.
Continued on the path over to Spread Eagle mountain and then returned back to the car. We had a cool, cloudy day with some breaks of sun for our short trek.

Summit Elevation: Hopkins 3150 ft
Round-trip Distance: 7.3 mi
Elevation Change: 2200 ft
