It says it is completely forested, but you never know...maybe there is a ledgy outcrop.

I grew up in the shadow of that mountain. My first job was at a sawmill at the foot of it. As far as I know there are no major trails, nor minor trails for that matter. I know of a few private trails. There are snowmobile trails. It's a long forested ridge mostly visited by hunters. The gate that you see on that map is for the private inholding that you can see on the map (there's a hunting camp there). From time to time the GMC does a snowshoe trip up the Perkinsville end of the mountain (outside of the WMA). That does go to a pretty decent viewpoint, but you'd have to contact them for info. Sorry I'm not much help.

Several years ago I bushwhacked up from the W and don't remember any of either. If you believe the giant plaque on the summit, there once were great views.

It looks like following the driveway to the private property boundary would be the easy way up.
