Description:
The majority of this hike is exploratory! There is a net gain of 1670 ft., but the total elevation gain will be over 2000 ft due to the undulations of the ridge we will be exploring. The hike begins at the Tombstone Pass trailhead. We will take the Cone Peak/Iron Mt. trail to the meadows on Cone Peak's flank where we leave the trail behind and hike cross-country to Cone Peak's summit. From here we will follow the ridge easterly to explore South Peak, Echo Mountain & North Peak (as time and energy allows). This ridge is exposed: bring your sunscreen, hat, and a minimum of 2 liters of water!
