Ascent Trip ReportThis is a super easy peak especially considering its prominence. The forest service road was in good shape and passable by just about any 4WD, the only concern would be sharp rocks. I did see the area about 7 miles into the road where it would be a nightmare when wet. People have placed rocks and tree stumps into the depressions in order to get across.
If one makes it to the area where I started my hike, it is very short albeit steep. I walked a little passed the top in order to get a decent picture down to Nephi. |
