Jun 27, 2020 — Not wanting to risk wrecking my rental car, I parked at the 2WD lot and walked the road for a couple of miles to the 4WD lot. Honestly the road would be fine for any mid-clearance vehicle, but I was happy to get a warm-up jog in. From the 4WD trailhead, the hike to Pharaoh Mountain is pleasant and well-traveled. Of note, after a bit of mostly flat walking, there is a nice spot before the ascent begins at Glidden Marsh to break up the mostly forested trail. The trail gets surprisingly more and more steep as it ascends to the summit. The route wraps around the east side of Pharaoh Mountain to gain the rocks on the top. The views of the lakes below and Adirondack peaks in the distance were nice.
