| mountaingazelle | East Face  Date Climbed: Oct 25, 2009 | |
| I started hiking from the Provo Peak parking area. I found a nice trail that went to the saddle that was northeast of Lion Head. I hiked to Peak 8,753 first. The ridge actually had a climbers trail on it. Then I hiked up to Lion Head. I saw the pink ribbon on the highest point. There was a cairn on a lower point farther north which has a great view. I wanted to climb more peaks in the area but the weather turned bad. It started snowing as clouds engulfed the summit. | |

| I hit these after I had hiked Buckley Mountain earlier in the morning. Used the trail by the Provo Peak parking area, (Trail 62) to reach the saddle between Lion Head and Peak 8753, walked the ridge to Peak 8753, then retraced my steps back to the saddle, then went up to Lion Head. Very easy hike, although while trail running down through the aspens I nearly stepped on a rattlesnake. He looked to be a western diamondback and was not coiled at first. He sure looked to be 5ft long if not a little longer, but the initial surprise may have caused me to think that he was longer than he really was. I did not know they could grow that long. He was rattling up a storm! I slowly backed away stomping my feet so he could feel my vibrations getting farther away and then I went through the aspens about 30 feet above from where I saw him and heard him before getting back on the trail. | |

| Dean | Buffalo and Lion's Head Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2008 | |
| First I did the little hike up to the top of Buffalo Peak, a bit to the north of Lion's Head. Then I drove up to the spot where I had hiked up Provo Peak the year before but instead of going up Provo again, I hiked up to the top of the peak to the west, which turned out to be Lion's Head (Pk 9001 on the map). From there I scouted Maple Mountain which I did from the valley floor on the 13th. I left a pink ribbon tied around a rock on the highest spot. Fun little hike. | |

| Easy mountain with stunning summit views. Great winter hike/ski for periods of high avalanche danger in the higher elevations. | |
