Bassett Peak is a nice enough destination all on its own, with large trees lining the bottom half, an interesting ridgeline, and 360° views at the summit. However, where this trail really shines is in the fall when the maples turn into fiery shades of red, yellow, and orange along Ash Creek. Those continuing on to the summit will face a few overgrown spots, tricky navigation to the peak, and some loose footing.
