Started out early and expected other hikers on the day, but there were no other hikers climbing the mountain on this Saturday. There were several cars parked at Cow Canyon Saddle, but apparently they went up Sunset Peak. I didn't mind the solo day at all, especially since the trail goes through sections of overgrown vegetation and/or missing trail that slid down the slope. The last thing I needed to do was also dodge other hikers coming in the other direction. Despite the less than perfect trail conditions, I was still able to determine the right way to go all the way up the mountain, which means that the trail is really not in terrible condition. It would have been nice if I wore long pants, though, since my shins got scratched up pretty good. On the way up and at the summit, there are great views of the other mountains in the range, such as the Three T's, Sugarloaf Mountain, Iron Mountain, and Mount San Antonio. I combined this with a visit to Peak 6930, which is about a mile away from the summit. Total for both peaks is about 6 miles and about 2500 feet of elevation gain.
