Take the road marked Echo Lake State Park off of Rt 16 and you will enjoy a short ride to the ledge base, which attracts many vertical climbers in season. Continue on to drive to the top and park for a short walk and many beautiful views. All in all, much like Maine's Camden Hills, minus the Atlantic.
