Took advantage of the nice late fall weather and headed up to Brown’s Peak with my friend, Jill. Got started around 0830 to cool temps and a nice breeze. The first two miles went by quickly. The wind picked up at the saddle and up to the base of the chute, until the steep rocks finally shielded us from the worst of it. Careful climb up the chute, trying to pick the easiest option, until we finally topped out. Took a snack break up top (breezy! and even chilly) and enjoyed the views.

We were the first ones to the summit for the day, with four other hikers arriving just before we left. Saw three more just below the summit, then three more at the bottom of the chute. Careful descent, especially through the loose rock, then an easy two miles back to the trailhead. Fun day, and Jill said it was her favorite hike so far.

The road is pretty rocky in a lot of places, medium clearance required.
