Bullitt Fireplace Trail, Chybinski Loop, West Access Trail, West Peak & Central Peak — Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026

On the Chybinski trail

I started at Sierra Court, taking the little connector to the Bullit Fireplace trail, and then the Chybinski trail. I zipped along the West Access trail to cross them off my map, and noticed it was deeply rutted from the rainstorms. I kept going up to the West Peak. Going down the east side of the peak, and then across the saddle and up to Bullit Gorge Hill, was much steeper than I expected from looking at the map, but it's short. Then I had a break at the fireplace, and then on to the Central Peak trail, where there were a couple mildly annyoing blowdowns. down to the Huckleberry trail back to the neighborhood.
Gorgeous day, with the ground frozen solid in many places. Lots of frost flowers on the north slope in the shade.
