Water source at 2.2 miles and views for days starting at 2.5 miles. It’s a tough hike and difficult trailhead to get to requiring a long hike in from Hwy 20 Or expensive boat taxi which can be shared with up to six people making it far more reasonable. I had the entire peak to myself with 360 degree views, a little history and great weather.

Oh man, oh man! Jealous doesn't begin to describe the way I feel! And when someone like hikingwithlittledogs says your photos are awesome, they are awesome. I hope to get there someday, but I'm running out of summers. Thanks so much for sharing.
