Groom Creek Trail.

Winding, pleasant hike through the forest.

View back.

Slow ascent for the first significant portion of the hike.


Switchback along the trail.

View back as I continue ascending.

Nice viewpoints along the trail, but mostly it's just a forested walk.



Ascending a steeper section about 2/3 of the way up.

View back.

The trail switchbacks up this powerline cut for a bit.

More siwtchbacks.

Final steep bit of slightly steeper trail leading to just below the summit. Just ahead I reached a dirt road, where I took a left to reach the summit.
