If you're looking for a good hiking workout, with 2200 feet of elevation gain in less than 2.2 miles, this is your climb!
This trail actually begins off an easement of private roads at the Ausable Club. From the main road, you will see the Register and signage showing 2.1 miles to Noonmark. Continue on a gravel road until an arrow directs you to take a right into the woods. Follow the Stimson Trail to the summit. The trail varies in steepness but never lets up.
Along the way there are several lookouts, with the views more spectacular at each one.
At the summit you will have views of other surrounding mountains, including Dix, Giant, Sawteeth and the Great Range.
