Second of three bags I'll bag today. I began at the same trailhead as the first hike, only this time heading northwest. There was some semblance of a trail, although it was more like a cow path that soon faded away. This climb was a bit steeper than the first one and similar to Millsite, the summit was again hidden by two high points. But instead of flat saddles of Millsite, this one had some steep drops to low saddles before the last steep climb to the summit.

Again, great views from the summit! No summit log here so I got right to taking the requisite 360-degree pan photos and video before heading back to the TH and readying for the drive to the TH for my last peak of the day, of which both the drive and hike will be the most demanding of the day.

The summit panorama video is here:
