| Comments: |
Nice hike of the Iron Triangle. Thats what the Caretaker called it. Nice views of Flagstaff Lake to the north and Crockers, Reddington, Sugarloaf, Spaulding and Abraham to the south. Not the best view days as it was hazy with high clouds. Trail was mostly dry. Hike up to West Peak is steep climbing 1700' in 1.5 miles. |
