I was at Wyanokie High Point earlier in the year, and wanted to make it across the ridge to Yoo Hoo Point, as well as hike to Wyanokie High Point from the The New Weis Center. The day started off nice, but as the hike progressed, the weather deteriorated, and the last 1/2 hour included steady rain which got us wet.

We parked at the The New Weis Center and took the Otter Hole Trail passed the picnic area and Highlands Natural Pool, passing a scenic cascade on the Blue Mine Brook along the way. We thgen took the Hewitt-Butler Trail up to Wyanokie High Point. We then went back down the same way up, and went to Yoo Hoo Point across the ridge. We turned around back to the Hewitt-Butler Trail, and then took the Macopin Trail down the mountain back to the Otter Hole Trail, which took back to our car, taking the unknown music-blazed trail on the other side of the brook at the New Weis Center near the end.
