This is the destination, Muscoco Mountain, from well up the trail. The trail circles around to the back and finishes the climb from there.

Muscoco Mountain
It was an overcast day today, but not a cold one, so I decided to go for a hike. I started on the Mount Cutler Trail, but half way up went off on a different trail that leads towards Muscoco Mountain. This is a much more challenging trail than the Mount Cutler trail, and I wouldn't recommend it for children as there are some places with exposure.

Here's a view of another trail switchbacking up a steep mountainside.
The trail winds through a pine forest.
Eventually it reaches the top, with some very nice views.
There were some outcroppings near the top that look like quartz.
It made for a very enjoyable morning.
