Oregon_Hiker

This was day five (day hike #4) of our planned six day (5/15 to 5/20) Sierra Ancha Wilderness vehicle camping / hiking trip. We were camped just above the Billy Lawrence TH which was fourteen driving miles one way from the lower TH Start (at Hwy288/FR489) for this hike.

Oregon Hiker and I were initially not sure if we would be able to summit "this high on my priority list"

benchmark summit. I asked Larry if he would take a look at a possible route on Google Earth and draw-up a GPS Planning Route for us. He was kind enough to do so, and we both understood that it still might not be a safe route for us to try. We had two backup options just in case, and to also help with timing, I offered to drive my modified Jeep the three miles one way up serious 4WD FR489 instead of us having to hike it. It still took us forty-five minutes one way to drive it in my "Grasshopper" :sweat:

Our planned hiking route which is basically the now posted "official" GPS Route for this new hike description turned-out to be a good route choice and was really not that difficult an off-trail bushwhack nor that risky as was initially anticipated.

The short and long distance scenic views of this hike did not disappoint either :GB:

Also, as of this writing there is not a "Summit Register" available for sign-in, so hopefully someone planning on hiking this will kindly place a new one.. :thanx:
