Easy access from the Van Hoevenberg trail. Once you leave VH, trail steepens and is quite rough and eroded with several blow-downs around (but not in) the trail.
This hike was steeper than anticipated. It was great to have such a variety of terrain: the mellow of the VH trail, then the steeps, then slabs and scrambles. Beautiful day - we built up the cairn at the top (no markers). http://summithikinginnewengland.blogspot.com/2016/07/phelps-mountain-adk-746-july-24-2016.html
