I am rating this trip a 3 only because we had very few views due to the low clouds. Parking is just off Hwy 2 at a pullout near milepost 147. Quite a few cars will fit there.
We 5 ladies started down Hwy 2 around 8:45am and soon left the road where a piece of pink flagging marked the boot path into the trees.We follow flagging and a pretty distinct boot path for a while. There's some bushwacking, but not horrible. Once out of the trees it flattens and we're on a nice ridge. Unfortunately, there are few views so I take no photos until we're already at 6330', about 550' below the summit.The ridge scramble to the summit is easy and fun. On a clear day, it would be stunning. Looking back as it some views appear.
Almost to the summit. Ladies on the summit.We didn't stay long. Down we go.A fun day despite the weather not cooperating.
