| no partners | | Tres Alamos has been on my hike list for a couple of years and I figured that it would be a good idea to get out there and do this hike before it got too hot, so off I went.
I drove in about 4 miles off of Highway 93 and decided to park and start hiking. I did not need 4WD, but high clearance came in handy. I could have driven another mile, but the hike wasn't that long to begin with so I was fine with doing a little extra road walking.
I hiked on the road for about 2 miles and then hiked around one mile off-trail to get to the peak, which was visible the whole way. The hike was straighforward although it was a bit steep, a bit rocky, and a bit brushy. It wasn't really bushwhacking, but there was a good bit of prickly pear cactus, staghorn/buckhorn cholla, and other assorted pleasantries to weave around. There was a bit of class 2 scrambling higher up, but nothing too onerous. There was a good bit of ankle busting rock to deal with, which slowed me down quite a bit.
It was nice at the summit, so I hung out there for probably 45 minutes. The summit register was placed there in 1980 and there was a Lilley-MacLeod entry along with entries from other names that I recognized.
It was a nice day for the hike, and I am glad to finally get this one done.
Synopsis
Another day, another peak bagged, and another Lilley-MacLeod sighting! |
