Hiking Sexagenarian Peak

This 4880'+ West Peak of Mount Higgins, directly north of the lookout site, appears ugly and steep, but it is quite fun, though very short. Timewise, it's only about a 1/2 hour from the lookout site. There are lots of trees and shrubs to aid in pulling oneself up the steep route.
