I had been to Buck Mountain in Norvin Green State Forest earlier in the year, during the last snow of the season. I only made it to the first view back then, and now decided to explore it more with a full loop. The weather was rainy, but it was a light steady rain and this didn't turn me off. Buck Mountain is the tallest mountain in Norvin Green State Forest, and has great views both to the east and to the west.
