Tassel Hill
Since I had plenty of time when I arrived to Utica and found the Saranac Brewery to be closed on Sunday, I decided to head to Tassel Hill, the high point of Oneida County.
Tassel Hill is another accessible county high point. I walked up a private road that reaches near the high point. A logging road continues for another half mile to the high point. I'm unaware if the high point is on private land or not. There is state forest land as I did see signs. I have never read reports about access issues.
The summit does not provide much in views. Apparently, there used to be a tower at the top. I found some partial views to the north. I found some trash up here, so again, not the most pleasant mountain to be on.

Looks like it was a beauty of a day. Dig that blue sky.
