"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Partial LoopDid Rabbit, Granite and Round Top on a very hot day. Very nice loop but with direct sun on the entire route I ran low on water and decided to leave Iron # 3 for another day.

Standard LoopMonte Cristo Peak, Iron #3, Round Top, Granite, Rabbit. The loop is probably easier this way than the opposite direction.

From GraniteA loop hike including Iron # 3, Roundtop, Pacifico, Granite # 1, & Rabbit # 1. A little breeze helped to keep the temperature down a little. While the area is very dry and barren, the views are far-reaching.

Drive upWell, almost a drive up. Takes about 40 minutes RT from the road.
The road from Mill Creek Summit is in really bad shape 11/08 in some spots. 4WD HC really recommended.

Loop HikeNice day with a crisp breeze -- solo with Coco, my dog. Hardest part of the hike was actually Rabbit as I waited to find a place to climb off the road that Coco could do. Picked the west slope with the thickest brush I've ever been through (including George Creek) -- cost us about 25 minutes of bushwacking time. The rest of the hike was reasonable.

Long dayAs Bob says. Who knew you could get such a workout from the HPS List? Very enjoyable evening hike, even with the ugly bushwhacking encountered when we lost the trail on the way from Granite.

Part of Loop HikeThis was the first peak in our loop. Next was Granite #1, Round Top Mtn. and finally Iron Mtn.#3. About 11 miles with 4,000 feet of gain so a good workout especially if you go a brisk pace.

Long day...Last of 13 peaks that Matthew and I climbed in the area that day. A beautiful moonlit night made it quite enjoyable into the late hours. Trip Report
