Brown's Peak

Post by Tough_Boots »

Hey folks! To celebrate my 150th mile since back surgery this fall, I'd like to hit the top of Brown's Peak. I plan to leave the east valley around 7 or 8 am. My truck is only 2WD so I'll be going up El Oso Rd. unless someone else interested has something sturdier. It's been a while since I've been to the top and I'm looking forward to visiting it again!

Love to go on this one, but I committed to the Mt wrightson trip. Congrats on the back surgery! I was up there 6 months or so ago and reached the saddle ok in my 2wd chevy tracker. Has the road gotten worse?

last time I took the route off 87 in a friend's truck, it seemed like mine wouldn't have the clearance... maybe I'm wrong.

It's only about 15min longer going around and much smoother.
