| no partners | | I had Peak 2290 on my mind for a while, and decided to hike up to it today. Peak 2290, Peak 2578, and Peak 2662 are the 3 peaks on the west side of Rhyodacite Canyon. I bagged Peak 2578 a couple of years ago, so now I have done 2 out of the 3.
I used my Bulldog Canyon OHV permit and drove in a mile or so from the gate on Bush highway and parked. I mostly followed the route that @hikerdw used when bagging Peak 2290 a year or so ago. The hike was mostly off-trail, but it wasn't very brushy for the most part. I thought that the route was a good one, and I did not have any real trouble getting to the summit. There was some class 2 climbing, and maybe class 2+ in a place or two, but nothing worse than that.
On the way back down, I dropped into Rhyodacite Canyon for a bit, thinking that I might hike up to Hidden Arch. However, I did hike very far into the canyon before deciding to turn around -- I had gotten a late start for the hike, and figured that I would save Hidden Arch for another day.
It was a great day to be out in the Goldfields...but with warm weather coming, it may be a while before I get back to the Goldfields. |
