Peaks:Dial Mountain (4020') (#41), Nippletop (4620') (#13)
Trailhead: St. Huberts Parking Lot, Ausable Club Trailhead
Trip Time:11 Hours (20-30 minute break on each summit including Bear Den Mt.)
As usual we left Albany at 5:30 with our goal of hiking Dial and Nippletop. I researched these two peaks for about a week or so to find the best way to approach them. Some people say going counter-clockwise and others say clockwise. Everyone said going down Elks Pass would be tough and it’s easier to go up it. So we decided to go clockwise, meaning we would travel down Elks Pass. The bonus of going this route is that our walk out would be down Lake Road for about 3 miles. We arrived at St. Huberts parking lot around 7:30, strapped on our gear and started walking down Ausable Club Rd to Lake Rd.
