| partners | | I have been wanting to hike to the summit of this peak for a while, and I decided to make it happen today. The turnoff to the TH from the Beeline Highway was only 30 minutes from my house, which was nice.
I drove in a bit on FR 3456 and decided to park at a convenient pullout. I could have driven a bit further, but I came out there to hike, not to go 4-wheelin'.
Most of the hike was on roads, going through Log Corral Canyon. It was easy walking on the road, and the canyon was nice to stroll through.
We went on the roads through the canyon for about 3.75 miles, and then went off-trail to the peak from the northwest. We followed game trails some but had some light-to-moderate bushwhacking in other places. Some of the ascent was steep, but not unreasonably so. We never saw the actual summit until we were almost there -- we had been aiming for a false summit.
On the way up we stopped to check out the azimuth mark, and we located the benchmark near the summit. Next to the benchmark was an etching that read "XXXVI". I am not sure what that is about.
It was a nice summit area with some nice views so we hung out there for a bit.
We returned the way that we came. The descent was more pleasant than the ascent. |
