Comstock Road cliffs (LGWF) 9-12-15

Rivet · 09-12-2015, 03:39 PM

I parked at the north end of the gravel Padanarum Road (where it turns from heading mostly north to east). I continued walking on an old road (Comstock Road). Went past a small pond, and a couple of campsites. Shortly after crossing a small foot bridge (almost a mile from the start), I left the trail and headed toward the cliffs. Once I reached the bottom of the cliffs, I had to circle around more to east to find a way up them. There were nice views to the west and south from the ledges. I continued north to the top of this sub peak, and headed back down west and then south.

Great hike!

Did you spot this location via G-Maps?

Definitely out of the way

Yes. The cliffs really stand out on satt views including the rubble field at the base of them.

Yes, I just looked at the Sat view. Very distinctive.

Your photo #8 captures the rubble field and sheer drop very well.

Huzzah!
