Revegetation of this peak in the Gifford-Pinchot Forest has been slow, due to a history of fires. In the spring, this means open meadows full of wildflowers. The drive to this hike includes a rough stretch of road, but the color and the nearly 360 degree view will make it all worth it! Moderate hike of 5 miles, 1500’ elevation gain.
