    Even kids can reach the summit of Deer Mountain. It is 3 miles to the summit and up about 900 feet. There are 16 switchbacks in the middle part of the hike and lots of stone steps near the top...

    Hiked to the top on 12/10/21 - very nice hike, 2-4 inches of blowing snow in most places. Microspikes and hiking poles are highly recommended; I probably would've turned around if I didn't have them.
