| Not knowing what to expect, I had been saving this peak for rainy day. We did not encounter rain during the hike, and the peak was much more enjoyable and straightforward than I would have guessed. Fresh cougar tracks were seen heading down the mountain from near the true summit. A lot of snow walking, but no avalanche danger on the standard route. Clouds from an approaching storm system ruined views from the summit, except for very brief views of Kyes Peak, Storm Ridge, Bald Eagle Mountain, and West Cady Ridge. Overall, it was a good choice for a summit, especially for the conditions. Great for all hiking skill levels. |
