Embark on the Hickey and Peeskawso Peak Loop, an easy hiking route that takes you through a shady forest. You'll climb steadily, gaining 557 feet (170 metres) in elevation over its 2.4 miles (3.9 km) distance. Along the way, look out for striking rock formations and pretty cascades, with 'peek-a-boo' views of the countryside appearing through the trees. The highlight is the panoramic vista from Peeskawso Peak, offering expansive views that stretch for miles. This loop typically takes about 1 hour and 16 minutes to complete, making it a great option for a shorter outing.
The trail is situated within Monument Mountain Reservation, so be aware that a parking fee is required to enter the area. While you can hike this loop year-round, dry weather conditions are recommended, especially because some sections are rocky. It's a good idea to check the forecast before you go to ensure a pleasant experience. If you plan to bring your dog, remember they are welcome but must be kept on a leash throughout the hike.
Beyond the main loop, you have the option to explore a short side trail leading to the Devil's Pulpit. This unique freestanding rock column is a distinctive feature of the area and worth a quick detour. The entire route offers a rewarding experience for hikers of various skill levels, combining forest exploration with impressive viewpoints.
