“A super mellow skin, mostly up a dirt road, to the top of Caribou Hill.”
— Tom Robson
Description
Shortly after popping out of the trees, you'll turn off of the road and onto the slopes of Caribou Hill. It's here where the approach gets a little steeper, but you won't need your risers.
From here, head as straight as you can for the easily sighted (on a clear day) summit.
