The trailhead here fills up fast so it is best to come early! That said, the lot is fairly large and easy to get to. The Phelps Trail leads you on a gradual creek-side ascent to the Johns Brook Lodge. The Three Brothers Trail leads you up the mountains to a handful of peaks with sweeping view of the Adirondacks.
