We went in at the Clay Meadows parking lot, which was near beside a small quarry pool. From the trailhead, we hiked straight up to the center of the mountain’s spine. From that trail junction, we went south over French Point which has some awesome views from its open ledge. We continued on towards Montcalm Point, however, we decided to drop down before First Peaks and bushwhack to the trail along Northwest Bay and take the trail back out to the trailhead and parking area.
This is a hike I want to do again.
It was around 4 miles from the loop
Just under 1000' of elevation gain.
