Balsam Cap Mountain

About Balsam Cap Mountain
Balsam Cap Mountain requires a challenging bushwhack to reach its summit, which is marked with a canister. Dense balsam fir surrounds the summit, but a view of the Ashokan Reservoir can be seen just north of the high point.
History
Balsam Cap Mountain is not to be confused with Balsam or Balsam Lake mountains. It is often climbed in combination with Friday Mountain on a challenging bushwhack route. The peak was named for the distinctive cap-like stand of balsam fir at its summit.
