I had my motorcycle and could have rode it to within a third of a mile of the summit, but what fun is that!?! Eventually there are nice views into the Hellsgate Wilderness. Makes one want to explore that area more. Very similar approach as the Hellsgate 37 (North) trail, including a bunch of cows, who apparently like hiking to highpoints also. Snow could be seen on the northern Mazatzal slopes. My legs were tired today, so I'll be back to the Green Valley Hills northern highpoint on another trip.
