I took a friend from Houston, Texas up this one. The trail was very icy but she did very well for someone who had no experience hiking mountains let alone in snow.
My wife and I did this nice little hiking while camping at the Mountain Park Campground below. It was a short, but nice hike with nice views along the route up and down. We were a little disappointed that the actual summit doesn't provide good views due to the surrounding trees. Oh well. At least it was fun trying to figure out which mound of rocks was the actual summit. :)

The skies were clear for this hike, a welcome change from the rainy weather of the past four weekends. I saw no one else on the trail, which was surprising since it was Labor Day, and the parking lot was nearly full.

I was recovering from a cold, I didn't have a whole lot of time, and I wanted to take the dog and wife with me so decided to try out this little mountain. It was a nice little hike and the summit provided a good view of the north end of the Mummy Range.
