The summit is a 7.2 mile hike from the Center Park Trailhead to the south. It is so flat at the top that you might find it useful to know that the "x" on the map is at N40 40.466 W110 30.363. Most people would not want to climb this peak by itself but would do it as part of a multiday trip to several summits. The best months to climb are July, August, and September. |
Start at the Center Park Trailhead and head north on the trail to Garfield Basin. After about 2.9 miles, leave the trail at N40 38.259 W110 27.603 and head for the 11193 benchmark to be found at N40 38.636 W110 29.439. Follow the ridge west and then northwest to the 11842 benchmark, the remains of which are found at N40 38.686 W110 29.439. Follow the ridge north to the 12007 bump and then continue another 1.1 miles on flat terrain to Swasey Knob (12124). For the return you could either retrace your steps or descend into Swasey Hole and make your way east back to the trail. A reasonable way to do this would be to walk the east ridge that starts just south of Swasey Knob until you reach the saddle between 11552 and 11337 and then descend south to Lake 10810. Pass south of Lake 10715 and Lake 10706 and then head east to the trail. |
