East Ridge from American Peak Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2006

Route Climbed: East Ridge via "American Peak" Date Climbed: September 1, 2002
Jones Mountain was a fun and scenic summit. On the Labor Day weekened I spent in Snare Gulch I saw no one else... but the crowds on Handies Peak were evident from the summit of "American Peak".

By the time the time we reached Jones Mountains summit a storm which had built uo in the west was fast approaching so we (myself and my two dogs, Sopris and Raymond) beat a hasty retreat. This is a mountain I would go back to...
