2012-12-01: Sombrero Peak Hike (Trip Complete!)

[THATSALEXUS?]

Hey Tyler, my house is only about a minute from the Carls Jr. Once you and John meet up, just head over. John knows where it is.

A big thanks to Steve and Tyler for joining me on this hike!



"Cone-shaped Sombrero Peak rises head and shoulders above the east lip of the McCain Valley plateau, overlooking a hundred-square mile expanse of rock-strewn mountains and gorges, sun-baked valleys, and distant badlands. Conversely, the peak itself is a prominent and familiar landmark widely observed from the desert below.

Climbing Sombrero Peak is a feat attempted by relatively few people, but not because of its height (4229 feet above sea level), which is quite modest. Rather, the peak is remote from paved roads, and its boulder-guarded flanks discourage those who are not willing to put up with either a long march to its base (from the west) or a shorter but sweaty eastern approach up from the desert floor." -Jerry Schad
