...of the two routes up the Wilmington Trail, access to which can be found off of the Whiteface Memorial Highway. Parking for this jump-off point is located at the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, approximately 2 1/2 miles up the Highway.
Leaving the parking lot, the hiker descends briefly before beginning a steep and fairly lengthy climb up the slopes of the former Marble Mountain Ski area. After just under a mile of steep climbing, you will pick up the actual Wilmington Trail that ascends Whiteface. After another 1. 2 miles of moderately steep to steep climbing, you will come to a ''herd path'' coming in from the right that ascends the trailless High Peak known as Esther. The trail for Esther is described separately, but suffice it to say that many, if not most, hikers ascending the Wilmington Trail combine Esther and Whiteface into one trip.
Continuing straight at the Esther turn-off, the trail descends a bit to a low-lying wet area and then eventually levels out. This easy stretch of the Wilmington Trail covers about 7/10 of a mile before the climbing picks up aga... |
Black Mountain Trail

I just camped over in Black Mountain. Amazing place... I even got to see a Lynx pretty close up. Calm and beautiful animal. I highly recommend this place. Not a bear or raccoon in the area. You don't have to so much worry about having food in your car.... |
Tucalota Springs RV Park and Campground
 | 17 miles away
We visited Tucalota Springs RV Park the first week-end in February 2007. We liked it a lot. It's a small campground but it is very clean. The sites are large to. All of the sites have fire pits and they have full hook ups. They also have tent areas. They have a store on the premises stocked with most of the items you may need while camping. There is a solar heated swimming pool, basketball court, volleyball court and a couple of horseshoe pits. There are also trails to ride your bike on and there is a little lake for fishing. Its catch and release and you will need to purchase a license from their store for $5.00. You won't get cell phone service but if you feel like taking a nice walk up the hill there will be a bench waiting for you and you will get service there. The people who worked there were very friendly. We will definitely go back!... |
