Turn off Route 28 onto the main street in Phoenicia. Continue on Main Street which becomes Route 40 and passes the main parking area for Mount Tremper. At the intersection with Route 212 turn left and drive to VanWagner Road on the left. Turned left on VanWagner Road to get to the small hamlet of Willow. Along the way you will pass the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary on the left. Just passed this is the intersection with Jessop Road which leads to the Willow Trail. Turn left and drive 1.1 miles up the road to the parking area on the left. Start hiking on the woods road that is the first part of the trail. The grade averages about 15% until it levels off at just less than a mile. Along the way the route transitions from the woods road to a trail that, in some cases, hangs right on the edge of the hill. It becomes rocky and the footing can be difficult especially in wet weather. At the one mile mark the trail elevation has increased from about 1100 feet to almost 2100 feet. Along the way you may get some views of the mountains and valleys to the north and east. After a quarter mile of relatively flat walking, the trail again begins to ascend gaining another 400 feet to the trail junction with the Warner Creek Trail at 1.7 miles. At the trail junction turn right on the Warner Creek Trail headed north toward Silver Hollow. The mountain to your right is Carl Mountain. When you find a promising spot, turn right and start your bushwack to the highest point and then return the way you came to your car.
