job on this one! I climbed this back in '02 or so and could've used the directions then. If memory serves, the most interesting thing about the hike was that there were hunters all over the place, one of whom later told me that he thought I'd looked like "a big ol' buck" from a distance. Yikes!
Thanks! I was also there during hunting season. This mountain range is full of hunters in the fall. The most difficult thing is trying not to get shot but still having fun climbing the mountain.
I always wondered about the hunters. Most of them are looking
for big game such as elk or deer. I have a problem when I just
return from a long hike and/or backpack, and I suddenly get
asked the question: "Could you please tell us where the deer are?"
I mean ... it's called HUNTING, right??? Let's not take the
CHALLENGE out of the hunt. If you do, all the fun soon disappears, like a rabbit from a magicians old hat. Food for thought!!! Thank you, Melinda.

Re: The 3rd such peakThanks! I have to agree, according to Topozone, there are 9 peaks named Doubletop Mountain in the U.S.
