(I've gotten way behind on posting to this site, but wanted to get this one up as it was a visit to a couple of unique peaks)
These peaks are in 2nd college grant; the first one being the far southwest bump (interpolated elevation: 1,790) e on the ridge between Hell Gate and Lamb Valley Ponds.
We walked the access road into the grant past the Diamond Peaks Trail and a few more miles up to Monahan's Baths. The road is being plowed, though there were a few inches of new powder. All other roads were unbroken trail at times with a breakable crust. We crossed the suspension bridge by the baths and took the road east of the river up to a likely spot to bushwhack the Half Miles Falls peak. We returned in our tracks and continued on the road until we launched a bushwhack across Windey Ridge. The road to the south of the peak brought us back to the college grant road near Diamond Peaks Tr.
This was a fairly challenging hike of about 17 mi. with lots of breaking; I was glad to have two of us to share in the effort. |
