Good sustained vertical climb
This is a nice loop hike even though the lookout points are mostly overgrown now. I got out a little later than I wanted and caught the heat of the day pretty straightforward. I literally saw no one else on the mountain, just in the parking lot. Very solid training hike only an hour and a half from my home.
Hiked the short version of the trail by returning to Meneka peak trail along the ridge. Trail was easy to follow, no one else was on the trail. Saw a timber rattler and two copperheads but no other interesting wildlife probably due to the pace, only stopped for a few picture/water breaks, started at 6p after work and was back to the car at 10p.

Sort of
We hiked the loop but didn't go out to Signal Knob. Will have to go back again!

Many MenekasI've done variations of this route many times, most recently in January 2014.

Good training trailStarted too late in the day so we turned around a mile shy of the knob. Will go back to train for future backpacking trip coming up.
