I got an invite to do this one a while back. This high point was not really on my radar, but I figured it would offer some great views into the Supes and I have always liked knocking out the less traveled summits. Plus it was a chance to finally get out for a hike with trekkin gecko. Originally, there were a few more HAZers on the hike, but I think we lost a few to cancellations. Not to worry though, I augmented their absences with Jackie and three dogs.

A pretty manageable off-trail route. Myself, trekkin gecko, Jackie and the dog pack did the summit together. We hit up the arch view point on the way and uncovered a bonus arch as well. We hung out at the summit for several minutes and then took a nice break with Tibber and Oregon Hiker just below the summit. Tibber fed the dogs an entire bag of beef jerky and then we were on our way. Trekkin headed up for a second summit run with Larry and Angela and we made our way back down to the trail and the Xterra.

A very nice peak and hike overall. Nice to reconnect with some HAZers and add a new one to the list. The flowing creek for most of the way back to the TH made the day for the pups, who endured through a pretty tough one today.
