Route Recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX

My first side trip from the Potato Patch Loop was Stonestep Lookout, which revealed that I'd be hiking in snow for about a third of the day. The forest was burnt some on this side of Aspen Peak. It'll be hot through this section in the summer. Aspen Peak was mellow. I checked out the lower, eastern peak but wasn't keen on free climbing it, seemed sketchy. Planning on researching climbing routes for it later and this area as a whole. As with the second linked route, the third (Tipton Overlook) was also relaxed. The fourth and fifth linked were tough because of the snow. Postholing was necessary through the Aspen drainages and northern slopes to access Dinosaur Rock Overlook. I was the only tracks above the summit road crossover to the steep Hayden Peak Summit Road. What a wild antennae farm perched upon the granitic summit boulders! It was neat tunneling and ascending the stairs to the various summits. I skipped Hualapai Peak and a few other trails for a future trip next month. There's bigger fish to fry this month.

Not the super loop today, but overall a nice, peaceful area lacking aircraft noise mostly. Occasionally vehicles could be heard below, but still not overly annoying. Thirty bucks for a campsite seems reasonable when compared to other similar areas, e.g. Idyllwild.
