"My husband and I left around 12:30pm from the Horsethief Gulch Campground, sunny skies, temperatures in the 80's. There was a small wash at the very end of the campground road, we started there and simply headed NW along the pink line of our GPS to the flag at the peak on the screen. That entailed following the wash for awhile (maybe 1/2 a mile, and watch out for velcro plants), then heading up and over a few hills and into gullies. We normally never use GPS - either already know the trails, have great detailed trail descriptions, or someone else has GPS beta in our group. All we had was the peak co-ordinates punched into the GPS this time. We zig-zagged a bit trying to get our heads wrapped around how the GPS works (yes, I know, a wilderness mountain is not the best place to learn a GPS, but we're experienced hikers and my hubby has a ridiculously great sense of wilderness directions and reading the land).
