An F load of gnats greeted me at the summit. Great views. Noticed an old trail coming up the side of the hill opposite the road.

4 Hills Today
Steliko Point, Chelan Butte, Bear Mountain, and Goman Peak. Chelan Butte was the only one which we were able to drive to the top. WA P2k 39/144, but I'm not really a prominence guy.

Chelan Butte
I've been up here several times including once with Dean. It's a good car camping spot as a short drive from Chelan and with pretty views. I could do without the towers but that's life.

Overnighted near summit
While waiting for fellow SP and NWHkr member Eric to join me, I hiked to the top from near the hang glider area. Then both Eric and I slept in our vehicles so we could get an early start to go chasing some prominence peaks on the Colville Indian reservation the next morning. I walked all around the fenced area and was not able to get to the benchmark and actual highspot within.

Awesome Views!!!
I have to admit that I drove up to the summit area, although we met multiple people hiking up most or all of the summit road to the mountaintop. However, once there, I scurried around all over looking for the highest point I could (legally) attain. Great views, and I cannot believe it took me this long to summit this mountain considering how many times I have been to Lake Chelan through the years. Highly recommended summit.
