Mound Mountain Peak, never been there but it's just a little bushwack, no climbing. It's in the eastern supes near circlestone.

Yes it is a little brushy as you hike to the top but it is not difficult to do. The most interesting route is to hike up from Log Trough Canyon/Stream. This area is heavily forested and there is numerous Indian ruins if you know what to look for.

One day years ago I was on the way to Reavis Falls and I met three hikers high on the trail hunkered down behind some rocks trying to read a map that was almost being torn out of their hand by the wind. They asked me where a particular set of Indian ruins were located. I responded by telling them that if they looked very carefully they were leaning against them.

That's not as bad as the time I found a soft spot on a rocky lake shore in Idaho. As a laid back and nestled myself in to unfold the map and check my position, I noticed that the soft spot was in fact an ancient pile of dessicated horse manure.
