| Parked at treeline just as the road narrows, about one mile short of Light Peak. Hiked over Light Peak, down to shoulder, then up to Drake Peak summit. Clear skies, calm air, excellent views. Joined by my canine, Rudi. | |

| Dean | Nice short hike Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2008 | |
| Hiked over the top of Light Peak from where we had camped and then down, down, down and then back up to Drake's summit. I found a Richard Carey-Barbara Lilley register. Did I sign it? It was hidden nicely in one of their traditional red can containers. Nice views in all directions and I walked back to campsite by sidehilling LightPeak on the return. 4 miles roundtrip. | |

| Bob Bolton | West ridge Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2005 | |
| Bagged this one at the end of the long weekend after picking off several of Oregon's 2000-foot prominences. Parked on the east side of Light Peak, but stopped on a shoulder instead of driving all the way to the saddle. After the hike the rear window of my 4Runner refused to close at first, and with all that dirt and gravel roads plus 2-3 hundred miles of highway driving ahead of me, it was looking like a nightmare scenario. However, after starting the engine the window finally, haltingly closed, and I didn't lower it again for months until I decided to get it fixed. The hazards of driving old vehicles. | |

| cjwhat | Route Climbed: West ridge Date Climbed: August 12, 2005 | |
| Drove over Light Peak to saddle. Hiked up treeline (trees are on north side of ridge; south side is open scrub) to top. It's a nice walk. The crux is 4-wheeling back to the top of Light Peak. | |
