"Parked at Green Valley Campground and followed Forest Road 2N13D all the way to the peak. This is one of the few peaks where you can see both Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead from the same spot." — MikeTeeples • Sep 9, 2023

"Started from outside of Green Valley Campground in a small parking area. From there, I walked through the campground. On the far end, the paved road leaves the campground and becomes Forest Road 2N13D. This road goes all the way to Crafts Peak. Before going there, I stopped off at Peak 7500 and Peak 7575. Both peaks are right off the road. I climbed Peak 7500 first. Once reaching the top, I avoided climbing the class 4 boulders crowning the summit. Next, I went over to Peak 7575. Since there was a sea of thorny bushes between the peaks, I had to drop down to the road and find a route with less obstacles. When I found it, I headed on up. I really liked this peak because it was a great natural viewing platform in all directions. With two peaks quickly out of the way, I then concentrated on Crafts Peak. I followed the forest road, which is rather scenic. When approaching the summit, strategically placed rock ducks help to guide the way through the bushes and boulders. After enjoying this outing and it’s directness, I had to wonder why the HPS doesn’t have this Green Valley route listed for this peak?" — MikeTeeples • Jul 18, 2020

"This hike was steepish and kind of an ass kicker. I was amazed at the number of fallen trees over the trail. Topo maps told me there was a USGS Benchmark up there, but all I found was a post embedded in a boulder. There IS a Benchmark labelled "Crafts I" but it's on Butler Peak. I have heard that some benchmarks are not the traditional 3 inch bronze disks I've come to know and love, and perhaps this was one of them. I don't know. I did enjoy the views and the pines. It's a pretty sweet trail going up from Green Valley Campground." — jimduvall • Apr 19, 2014

"Followed the old jeep trail up from Green Valley Lake until it stopped just north of the summit, then went about 100 yards (if that) southerly up to the peak. Then I hiked 1/3rd of the way over to Butler Peak, but the sticker bushes, which are everywhere, made the going way too slow. Ran out of daylight so I left for home.
