| Dean | North ridge  Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2009 | |

| After doing the Samaria Mountains HP (Wood BM), my wife and I stopped at the Summit campground to spend the rest of the day and night while I hiked to the top of Elkhorn Peak. I hiked it from the campground which made it about 11 miles roundtrip and 3000 feet of elevation. I used up almost all my water as it was a hot day but the off trail portion from the Indian Mill Canyon crest went fine. Just stay to the ridge crest as much as you can and aim for Pk 8577 along the way. Often a use trail can be found which helps make the almost two miles of off trail OK. |
