Start/End: Burrows Trailhead
Miles: 4.7
Elevation gain: 2288′
I headed out from the trailhead in my microspikes, since there were 6+ cars already there and the trail looked very packed down. I followed the trail up ~2.2 miles to the intersection with the Long Trail. I took a right and headed up the tenth of a mile to the summit. The ~30 MPH wind on the summit was constant and stopping to take a few pictures made my fingers go completely numb. I quickly hurried back below treeline, and to get my hands warm again, started running downhill. I found the terrain so smooth and easy that I continued to run all the way back to my car. I made the round trip in less than an hour and 45 minutes!
