A steep, lightly used but badly eroded summit trail begins from Gilley Field and makes direct ascent to just short of Mansell Peak. Tread is often up to 10’ wide in woodland areas with cairns marking way over loose soil, large and small rocks, and exposed roots. Some water dips with minor stone work to direct water can be found in lower section. Trail makes transition to ledge and becomes less difficult before junction with Perpendicular Trail. Overlook provides views of Southwest Harbor and Cranberry Islands (no views from the actual summit), then trail descends into peaceful valley of tall spruce trees and lush mosses to intersect with the Great Notch Trail (#122).
