"Attempted this mountain a week ago with my youngest son. We had to turn back due to thunderstorms. I decided to come up here again and take a different way up hoping to find a shorter route that doesn’t keep going up and down along the way up. I certainly found a better way. I took all the wrong trails the first time I headed up 2 years ago. Glad I scouted out some of the other trails. Enjoyable area for a hike. There is now a summit register on top indicating that where it’s placed is the true peak, which is on top of the boulder area near the end of the trail. " — MtnGeek • Jun 18, 2025

"Great two-peak day! Berrian was a partial bushwhack (at least the way I did it), and there was enough snow/ice that micro spikes definitely helped. Afterward, I drove to 3 Sisters Park and Hiked up Elephant Butte, which was also a really fun hike with great views." — LGH-Dan • Nov 18, 2017

"A well hidden treasure, it was only by mistake that I discovered this mountain was on public land. I had hiked Meyer Ranch for years, and seen this mountain hundreds of times, and never knew it was accessible to the public. It is registered as part of Denver Mountain Parks, but you will find no mention of it on their sight. Only a quarter mile up the trail we ran into some trouble, and lost the path in a section that has been clear cut and wood chipped which erased the path, but we were able to find the path again once our accent cleared the cut zone and got back into the trees. This climb has plenty of trees and vegetation providing plenty of shade the whole way up, and plenty of wild life and wild flowers to keep the hike interesting. A rock pinnacle to the north west near the summit, provides a wonderful place to relax take a break, and take in the views that the summit will not, as it is covered in trees. It was a wonderful hike, suited to beginners, and the avid mountain climber alike. My wife and I spent almost five hours exploring the mountain, and only met two other people. I can't wait to further explore this small gem, but will give no information to the ..." — peterwaugaman • Jul 13, 2014
