Routes
South Ridge (Class 3): Take the trail out of Grandjean south past the Baron Creek turnoff and leave the trail to hike east up Goat Creek. This drainage has a real reputation for it's downfall and dense vegetation and rightfully so. As you ascend the drainage, the travel gradually gets easier. By the time Meadow Lake is reached about 9 miles into the hike, the travel is easier. Continue southwest of the lake and climb west up gentle open slopes until the the grade steepens just before the south summit ridge. Once the ridge is obtained, hike due north over boulders and around a few towers to reach the summit. Enjoy the steep drop off to the north and the great views.
10.3 miles and 5510 feet gain (one way)
Round Trip Time Estimate: 8-12 hours
