Brom Vermeulen's Ascent of Mount Paradise (1606 feet)

Stats

Summit: Mount Paradise
Date of Ascent: 08-05-2010
Successful: yes

Trip Report: Parked at Blue Mtn. Lake PA. Walked out to Hemlock Pond, one of the prettiest ponds in Northern NJ. Followed the woods road to the Buttermilk Falls trail, turned right and up to the AT. At what seemed to be the summit, I found a rock stuck in a crack; sort of a minimalist cairn. I added a couple of rocks, but tried to maintain the sparse feel. Returned via AT, Hemlock Pond Trail and Blue Mtn. Lake.
