I decided to do this hike to hit the highpoint of the Waterman Mountains.

There is a decent use trail all the way up, and I was happy to follow the trail and avoid any bushwhacking.

The trail was steep and a bit slippery in places, and I doubt if I went much faster going down than I did going up.

On the way up I stopped off at the Leonberger Memorial, which is at a saddle not too far from the summit.

There was a bit of class 2 climbing to get up the last 50 feet or so to the summit, which is kind of a fin along a short ridge.

I thought that the views at the summit were great, and I hung around up there for 30 minutes or so.

There is lots of sun exposure, and I would not want to do this hike in hot weather.

I thought that this one was an enjoyable little hike, and I might do it again sometime.
