The final installment of the Tongue Mountain Range series covers the northern portion, including Five Mile Mtn., Brown Mtn., and Deer Leap. Tuesday, October 19, 2010.

The following audio log corresponds with this entry.

The trail is better established and easier to hike, despite having the highest peak. The views are not as panoramic as the southern portion of the Tongue Mountain Range.

Without having two vehicles, I backtracked from Deer Leap to my campsite, whereupon the next day, I hiked to Five Mile Point on Lake George.

Five Mile Point is the trickiest hike, as the descent is relatively steep, with loose cobbles and slick rock. But the views are worthwhile.
