Little Buck

Did a short hike with Howie this morning near Lake George. We climbed Little Buck mountain - Buck mountain's northern brother. There is no trail to the top so this was mostly a bushwack. Started from campsite 11 on Shelving Rock road. Followed along the right side of the creek up to the col and then turned right toward the summit. Continued a short distance west to a nice view point. Tried to keep following along the ridge in a northwest direction. There was one last view point at around 1100 feet elevation. After a snack break, headed north down to Shelving rock falls. Followed the short trail to the road and the road back to the car. Passed another falls along the way where I stopped to soak my feet. A real nice day out for our short adventure.

Summit Elevation: Little Buck 1605
Round-trip Distance: 4.5 mi
