I had was able to take off Monday morning for a short and easy hike. Little Tor is a short mountain popping out of the Palisades Ridge with dramatic views and a steep cliff face. I parked at the top of Central Highway, and then the took the Long Path west. Where the power lines cross, I veered off onto the power lines trail to the top to get glimpse of the view here. The view is very good, but it is full of graffiti which really ruins the atmosphere, together with the power lines. You can merge right back onto the Long Path from here, and I did that and continued along the Long Path until the Little Tor Trail. Although this trail is not an official trail on the map, it is blazed with a white blaze. I took the Little Tor trail up to the top, and then climbed down by bushwacking back to the Long Path, and then went back to my car.
