We followed the Burroughs Range Trail west to east from the Slide Mountain Parking area on County Route 47 to the trailhead parking at the Woodland Valley Campground. In addition to the three peaks, the trail features some interest ledges to navigate, including the Cornell Crack on the eastern side of Cornell that requires some wiggling and maneuvering to make it down.

Important Hiking Considerations:

1. Weather: Check the weather forecast before your hike and be prepared for changes in conditions. Weather can be unpredictable, so bring appropriate clothing and gear. 
2. Safety: Some sections of the trail can be steep and rocky, so use caution and watch your footing. It's also a good idea to hike with a friend or let someone know about your hiking plans. 
3. Leave No Trace: As with any outdoor activity, remember to follow the principles of Leave No Trace. Pack out any trash, stay on the trail, and be respectful of the natural environment.
