 Likely In-Season! 
Expand MapRice Peak 9101' is an attractive and grassy summit just downslope from Mount Ian. It is a slightly nicer summit than Ian, but lower and so might see fewer people.


A short off-trail hike from the Crest Trail takes you to the top. When hiking north on the Crest Trail #144 from Baldy Saddle, leave the trail just past the aspen grove where you might leave to summit Mount Ian, in the mature forest of mostly Douglas-Fir, before you begin to encounter switchbacks. There is minimal dead-down material.
