Description

Pondview slab offers an excellent view of the pond, sunsets, and a few other mountains. South-facing, it receives much sunlight and wind.

The base is very soft, compiling of loose dirt topped with pine needles.

Vegetation is thick, and blow-down after a winter season can make the trail from the pond difficult.

Getting There

From the parking lot: Hike to the summit. Once at the summit, hang a left heading towards the pond. Right before the trails starts steeply heading downhill, there's a herd path to the slab.

From the pond: find the trail that goes up the side of the mountain (not the front) until you begin to top out. (If you're walking up a dried out stream bed, that is the wrong trail. That will take you around the front of the mountain.) At that point, a herd path will be on your right out to the top of the slab.
