Salt Ash Mountain

Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Snowmobile corridor 7 prior to bushwhacking to Salt Ash Mountain
Route: Logging road, snowmobile trail, bushwhack
We started off walking the logging road extension of Salt Ash Road, up to the landing around 2,350 feet. From there, we followed snowmobile corridor 7 if I recall correctly (not too wet), which gradually climbed then slabbed east/southeast. Once we were on the south side of the mountain, we bushwhacked up through generally decent woods, though a bit wet from the previous day's rains. There were some prickers to deal with in places, and the terrain steepened a bit and transitioned into mixed softwoods near the top. No views to be had from the summit, but I suspect there could be some when the leaves are down. Some views south/southwest from some glades as well.

The gate on snowmobile corridor 7
A lack of views on Salt Ash Mountain
Directions to trailhead: From Shunpike Road in Mt. Holly, take Shrewsbury Road north, which eventually becomes Mt. Holly Road. At the junction with Eastham Road, take a right onto Eastham Road, then take a left onto Bailey Road. Take a right onto Salt Ash Road, soon after bearing a right at a fork. Low clearance vehicles may have issues at this point. In summer 2014, a high clearance vehicle could make it most of the way to the snowmobile corridor 7 junction.
