The top of North Mountain is not clear of trees like her neighbor South Mountain is, so the overlooks are set into the side of the mountain. I've hiked this trail many times before, but have never seen the top of the mountain benchmark disc before! It's set into a huge boulder that is off the side of the trail, so I've just walked right on by without realizing it was there. Tonight I saw that rock and thought I might be able to see the sunset over the tops of the trees from there, so I climbed up and discovered that I was at the highest point! And yes, I could see the sunset. But I was actually more excited about discovering the benchmark!
