See the little fawn? That little guy was taking a nap directly on the summit when we crested out of the brush. He's pretty much standing on the benchmark (2010-07-13). Photo by Chris Gordon. Click here for larger-size photo.

Onion Peak from the logging road on approach. The bushwhack route is approximately directly behind the fir tree in front on the left, conveniently blocking the view, not that seeing the route from here would provide any assistance whatsoever (2010-07-13).
