Length: 1.0 kmCondition:  Well beaten path, constructed in placesGeneral Route: Branches off Heather Trail and follows ridge to summit of "Big Brother".Trail Description: To get to the summit of "First Brother" (Big Brother) (Three Brothers highest peak) you follow the crest of a rocky ridge that dips down and then climbs to the final summit. Because of winds, there is usually very little snow on the ridge, and thus not suitable for skiing, even in winter. Most ascents you take off your skis even before descending to the gap and walk the rest of the way. By April the summit is usually bare.
