| CWessels | Cone Peak Trail  Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2009 | |
| Trail is easy and well-maintained. View from the top is superb. We scrambled up the rocks on the SW face; I was surprised to find several hundred feet of good rocks to climb below this peak. | |

| SageHawk | Easy Hike, Great Views Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2008 | |
| I've bagged this peak too many times to count. An easy hike with well maintained trail from the Coast Ridge Road. The Peak is usually well above the coastal overcast for superb views. | |

| Nefsek | From Naciemento-Ferguson Road Date Climbed: Feb 10, 2008 | |
| Cone peak road was closed, so hiked the 5-ish miles to the trailhead, topped out mid-afternoon with outstanding views of the Big Sur coastline. Didn't want to come down! | |

| vancouver islander | Nice warm-up Date Climbed: Apr 29, 2008 | |
| Nice warm up hike for other trips in the area. Via the standard route from Coast Ridge Road in a bit over an hour each way. Gorgeous, sunny day and spring flowers in over abundance. | |

| WickedRugged | Easy Hike Up Cone Peak Trail Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2008 | |
| Drove up Cone Peak Road 5.1 miles to the marked trailhead (next time I'll park at the first turnout at 4 miles and hike the road to the trail, as the road gets tougher to drive from there). Had a couple visitors from the East Coast, and the views did not disappoint. Clear day, almost no fog, incredible views! | |

| rhyang | North Ridge Date Climbed: Mar 16, 2008 | |
| Hiked all the way up Cone Peak Road (6 miles), then about 0.75mi into the Ventana Wilderness, then cut west up to North Ridge, scrambled it all the way to summit. Generally rotten rock, but at least the brush at this elevation wasn't bad and there appeared to be a use trail in places. Kept it to class 2-3-ish bypassing some of towers. Descended via the summit trail. ~13 miles / 3000' for the day, which was clear but windy (a storm passed through yesterday). In past years I've come up via Cone Peak road or Trail Spring numerous times. Always a fun way to top off a trip to the south Ventana ! | |

| Summitted despite some of the worst insect swarms I've ever experienced. Should have brought a drysuit and a motorcycle helmet. | |

| copeg | Cone Peak Trail | |
| Nice and easy hike up along the Cone Peak Trail. Simply spectacular views of the Big Sur Coast from the summit. Hiked in spring when the ticks were out in full force - pulled several off of me along the way up. | |

| metasyn11 | Twin Peak and Cone Peak from Vicente Flat camp Date Climbed: Mar 31, 2007 | |
| Headed up Stone Ridge to Twin Peak then ridge-whacked to Cone Peak, back down to Vicente Flat. Cross-country was not bad and the views and wildflowers were gorgeous. | |

| ...but when he was at the NPS, I was grateful to have someone so close to hit the Ventana with! | |

| mlarkin2002 | Tickville Date Climbed: May 1, 2005 | |
| A long dayhike from Vicente to the ridge road, then up to the summit. Descended on the ill-defined Gamboa "trail" (I use that term lightly here). Thousands of ticks on every bush and tree. A 25mi adventure that dumped us out on SR 1 over 3mi from our car. | ||

| theronmoon | dream come true Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2006 | |
| On a plant collecting trip I was able to finally make my dream come true. It was all clouds on the way up until summit break. With the grandest views i have ever seen. Watched the sun go down and the almost full moon come up. Favorite peak experience yet. | |
