Hi Gillian, I've hiked Speckled Mt. from Evans Notch and Stone House Rd many times and love that area. I've been wanting to hike Speckled from the Lovell side, but have been reluctant to try it because the hiking guides caution that the trails on that side are hard to find/follow. Did you find that to be the case? Which parking area did you start from and did you have snow on the way up? Hoping to get out one day this week. Thanks so much!
Not hard to find the trail at all. I parked on the side of the road in a little clearing. The AllTrails directions took me right there. A bit of snow, but not enough to worry about using traction. Yes, took the Evergreen link and it was all well marked. When there weren’t blazes on the upper sections, there were cairns that were easy to follow. Have fun!
We haven't had an LAC hike recently, but this is good inspiration to get one on the books. I'll make a date and be back soon. And I'll post the Signal link here in the comments in a moment.
