Hippy Hill is the middle sister in the 3125-3195 peak trio. After a quick side stop at peak 3125 in the Goldfields you spot this little cutie all rocky and stubborn smack dab in the middle, the only thing standing in your way of easily reaching Peak 3195. To top off this little beauty you need to get on her good side (try the south) and do some fun and rocky scrambling up, up and up a tiny bit more in a counterclockwise semi-spiral along her rocky spine. Armed to the teeth with cholla and scree on her eastern end I'd suggest watching your step on the way down if you choose to head right over to her taller sister peak as an afterthought.

Hippy Hill 3163
9L and I wanted to hike out the end of the year right so we headed out the Goldfields, I've never spent any time in this area and I'm simply smitten!!
The big sheer yellow walls remind me of another oddly colored sheer cliff I loved so well all last summer
I enjoyed the little off trail jaunt up to Peak 3125, there were some fun little Hippy-sized rck walls to play/climb on the way up, which 9L chose to ignore
From this peak I looked over and locked eyed with a beautiful rocky beast stuck right in the center of 3125 and our next destination Peak 3195.
I led John up to this center peak without even asking if he wanted to, once we reached the base of "peak 3163" I headed to it's south side and we climbed/crawled/scrambled up it's side in a sweet little semi-spiral
At the tip top I begged and hoped this pretty thing didn't have a name...I hereby name this stubborn little beast as "Hippy Hill"!
We slid down the east side of HH and continued on to Peak 3195, this was a sweet little trek too! It has a kickin' climb up which reminded me of Battleship in the Supes, loooove!!
After we came down this beast we traversed to the north side where we walked up to some sweet little cave type things, filled to the brim with bat and rat poo, whoo!!
We then headed back to the trailhead, took a quick break and headed out again along Pass Mtn Loop...
