OSM Way
Huff and Puff picks the climb up to the towers from 3 Pigs. This trail is primarily a climb trail and has great tree coverage all the way to the top. If you enjoy single track climbs, this is a trail for you.
When climbing Brick, make a right turn onto Huff and Puff instead of continuing on Brick which goes left towards Kaiser. A little ways into the climb, there's an intersection with an unmarked and unmapped trail that you can turn right on to get to Eagle Scout to start your descent. If you continue climbing, shortly further up, you'll cross the Huff and Puff bridge - be sure to take a moment to check out the otters playing in the creek. As you continue your climb, you'll encounter an unmarked intersection at the crest of a fairly steep section. Continue straight if you want to take the H&P connector to Tower Road, or hang a right to continue on Huff and Puff. You'll soon be crossing Tower Road (just above where H&P connector drops you off). The remainder of the trail combines a very dense part of the forest with a combination of switchbacks and a few roots crossing the tread. Look for the fish and you'll know you've made it to the top of Huff and Puff.
Once you get to the top of Huff and Puff, you'll have a decision to make: go sharp left and up the hill to Mohawk. Or go straight-ish to get onto Wonderland (headed down). Or go straight-ish and then sharp right to go the other way on Wonderland to finish climbing up to the towers where you'll find gems like Evolution and Scorpion.
