West Beckler Peak
6-6-15


Kim, Gwen, and I headed up Highway 2 to do a little bushwhacking. We had all done East Beckler Peak. This time we went to the West Peak. Not bad if you like walking logging roads. We followed the road to the end and then continued up on old trail. There are some views on top, similar to those from the east peak.We went a little farther before turning around. It was a very nice day with few bugs. No snow left at all. Some wildflowers were in bloom. I know folks who have done this as a winter snowshoe trip. The ridge is not too steep. The old lookout is long gone.

It was no surprise that we did not see anyone all day. The east peak has some parking and a very nice trail. Both have parts on old roads. It is always fun to hike a new route and this was no exception. We all managed to draw a little blood. Not unusual for old unmaintained routes.
