Description

Tumbledown is arguably the most hiked mountain in western Maine. The jagged peaks and beautiful tarn on the summit give this mountain a unique beauty.

Sitting above Tumbledown is the lesser hiked peaks of Little and Big Jackson mountains. These peaks afford incredible views of Tumbledown and surrounding mountains. I hike here regularly, and have scarcely ever seen another hiker or runner, unlike Tumbledown, where you are likely to see dozens.

Giant's Castle is a distinctive peak in the Drakensberg known for its nature reserve and the bushman rock art preserved at its main caves. The game reserve is home of the eland as well as the bearded vulture and Cape vulture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant%27s_Castle. We have two routes that reach the summit of the peak from different starting points.
