Montgomery County High Point Trip Report

Mill Hill (700+ ft)

From PA 29, just north of East Greenville, take Mill Hill Road NE 0.8 miles to parking area and trailhead. The trail was very wet and did not appear as if it would climb the mountain, so I bailed out and bushwhacked straight up the mountain. Once on top, it's a short ridge hike to the summit. On the way down, while boulder hopping, a boulder gave way, leading to a fall and a broken rib. Back at the car, I pulled over 30 ticks off my pants, and two off my skin. I found two dead ticks on my kitchen floor the next day. Temperature this day was about 60, and I suggest saving this one for cold weather.
