The least strenuous route to the summit is to hike to Tumbledown pond via either the "Brook" or "Parker Ridge" trails. From the pond, hikers can access the summit via the "Tumbledown Ridge Trail", a fairly well marked path that leads across the mountaintop all the way from the East Peak to the West Peak. It also connects to the "Loop Trail", which descends steeply back to Byron Road. Weaker hikers should avoid the Loop Trail, as it can be a very challenging hike.
