| no partners | | It was my 3rd day of hiking and I wanted something relatively short and easy. I camped the night before right off FS 4759 at about 5,950 feet elevation. There was a nice campsite next to a flowing stream.
As for my route up, it was not the best way to go, but my route going down was a bit nicer and easier.
I believe the best way to go is to walk FS 4755 for roughly 1.25 miles from the campground area. You should see a split in the road with a sign labeled 4755-A. Turn right here and continue for 0.22 miles. You should be at low point. Turn left here and walk down into the wash below which is Joaquin creek. From this point, refer to my route and specifically my hike coming down because I believe this was the better route. Continue North then East for a total of 0.37 more miles. This is a good place to start your climb up to Lone peak. Near the top there are some massive rock formations. The peak is beyond these rock formations. You should be able to climb over (and sometimes through) these rock formations. There was one section near the end that had about a 20 foot drop, but I was able to take my time and find a groove in the rock where I could safely descend. I made it to the top and found a rock pile with a registry.
