Write Up:It was a hot one (29 degrees), but if you must hike on a hot day, Mt.
Lipsett is a pretty good choice. We headed for the trees at about 9
a.m. all having found a parking spot and stayed in the trees for
several hours. The boggy sections, and the accompanying insects, that
were described in most of the write-ups, were there and look like
permanent fixtures. However, it was well worth it. The views were
spectacular and we had such a great day to enjoy them. A breeze
accompanied us most of the way to the top, once we were out of the
trees, and gave respite from the heat. The "peak" of Mt. Lipsett is
tucked behind another bump that from a distance can be mistaken for
the true peak. Hiking time was 4 1/2 hours; distance 14.8 km and
elevation 750 m. Great group, wonderful scenery, a good work-out. What
could be better on the first day of August.
