Description
Margaret's Way trail makes a meandering ascent on wide trail at first, then narrows and steepens as it gets higher on the mountain. Eventually, the twists turn into switchbacks, but this means you're nearing the top. Connect briefly with Chybinski Loop, taking a right turn and then another right turn for Perimeter Loop Trail. A short distance here will bring you to Debbies View Trail and finally to the overlook.
