Did this early one morning. Heavy tree cover at the top obscures the view of Big Bear Lake, but it was a nice quiet uphill hike. Coming down there was a parade of 30+ people, numerous dogs, and two horses coming up . . . not a hike I'd do again.
On the way to Butler Peak Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2008
Rode up from Grout Bay to near the peak and hiked up the last little bit to the summit. Rode up to Butler Peak next and returned via Hannah Flat Trai and Gray's Peak trail. Still a nice area despite the fire last year.
A very pleasant place to hike, lots of shade unlike some of the other trails around here. The summit rocks are a cool place and eat lunch while watching the lake.
