We drove a 4wd SUV 9.6 miles up Burnt Mtn Road to the junction with East Branch Road,and then about .3 miles up East Branch, past active logging to plowed end. Hiked about 4+ miles to summit through open woods and a couple fir bands, 'whacking directly to the summit before road end. Descended and drove back to Burnt Mtn/East Branch junction and parked at the turnout. Loaded sleds there for walk-in to campsite. (See next day's report for Boundary Peak.) Thanks Pat for a fun hike. |
