Description
This trail to the top of Lima mountain needs some maintenance, but it can be a worthwhile adventure anyway! There are lots of sections where you'll need to either duck under or crawl over fallen trees. Surprisingly, the best views are not from the summit, but from a clearing 3/4 of the way up. Once you've enjoyed the summit, simply return the way that you came.
