Last Friday afternoon, I decided to take advantage of a balmy spring day and a Friday to hike up the Ledges trail with Zoe. We cruised easily up; thanks to all the great trail work done the last few years, there’s not much erosion left, and the mud was almost all dried up. We took a quick photo and water break on the ledges, then popped onto the summit in a tidy 50 minutes. Because the fire tower is the true summit of Pleasant, this was Zoe’s first official summit, at 2006 feet!
