Hunter Orange Will Be Required

We will be gasping to breathe in the thin air somewhere near the elusive and lofty summit of the great mountain.
The mighty Mt Tom and overlook ledges is a relatively short hike with a lot of elevation gain that would make it a level 2. This hike will take us on gravel lanes and single track trail to the summit of Mt Tom. Crossing over we will encounter ledges and more elevation gain, which will provide an overlook to the south.
Please be prepared with extra water for hydration and good hiking footwear. As always, protect yourself from ticks and the diseases they carry. Don't worry about the oxygen, the Sherpa guide will be carrying that.
