Nice afternoon on Plateau Mountain. Not too cold but windy. Despite a ton of people parked down by Notch Lake, there isn’t any one else on Plateau per the sign in book or based on the lack of human footprints. It’s surprising as the views atop Plateau are as good or better that Hunter Mountain, another without a firetower.
