Prospect Mountain is a 3 mile round trip hike. It is as difficult as it is very steep, not suitable for children under 4th grade.** The hike is near the route of the old trolley which serviced the Summit Hotel, a popular location for dinner dances enjoyed by the wealthy around the turn of the 19th century. The reward: an outstanding 100-mile view! (If you have people traveling with you who are unable to climb, they can take a car to the top and meet you for a picnic! To reach the ProspectMountain Highway, take Exit 21 and go 1 mile north. The entrance is on the left – open daily Memorial Day until late October)
