To get to the true summit point, which is about 50 feet west of the end-of-trail lesser east point, requires the ability to climb a wickedly exposed 10-foot section of class 3+ knife-edge rock. In my opinion it's actually class 4 due to the level of exposure--both to the left and the right. Plus, it's harder to get back down it than to climb up it. You definitely want to beware of this.

Access Road Update

Voted 10/10

As of 5/13/07 There are several trees blocking the road about 1/4 mile from the mountain loop highway. This adds about 3/4 mile on to the approach. I expect they'll have the road cleared by June or July.

tjmcnitt	Perry Creek Road to be permanently closed
Hasn't voted	The Forest Service announced today, 9/29/08, that the Perry Creek Road is to be permanently closed. Their plan is to expand parking at the Mt. Dickerman trailhead and build a connector trail from there to the Perry Creek Trail. I just confirmed with the Forest Service that the change will add 3 miles round trip to the trail. That means the long 11.5 mile day hike to the summit of Mount Forgotten will soon be a 14.5 mile overnight.
